Now doesn't that just figure...
Any other year, or launch, and I'd be scrambling right up to the last minute.
This time, it's 2 weeks out, an I couldn't be MORE READY!!!! 😭😭😭
Rocket is ready (Intimidator 5, aka "Eagle One", on an M1419), Launch pad is
ready, RV reservation ready...
Now it will just gather dust for who-knows how long. Aaaaaargh!!!!
Oh Well! Maybe next year on an "N" or an "O". 😲😲😲

Hi Everyone,
I was hoping to have some good news for today about our October Skies launch,
unfortunately we're going to need to cancel the event this year (both in Fresno
and BRD).
- Fresno "now in the Red" means we're 300% worse than when we shut down in
March - real Hazards still exist.
- Staying in compliance with City and State ordnance means I now need to
operate and manage a HAZMAT team in addition to launch operations.
When you look at the logistics of what's required to run a launch of this
magnitude and also stay in
compliance with COVID safety & social distancing requirements, it's almost
impossible even if I had
the additional volunteers required to pull it off.
Please stay tuned in the months ahead, we're hoping we can have a Christmas
Party and open up early next year.
Thank you all very much for your patience and understanding - stay safe and
hope to see you all soon!
Best regards
-James

Hi Folks,
Please Stay tuned, there is some discussion of this happening in Helm if they
open up the restrictions
I'd say everyone hang on for another 24hrs before taking yourself off the list.
Thank you

Please remove me from the launch list. I have a herniated disk at C5 and no

James,
I’ve replied twice off-list to jafrado@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:jafrado@xxxxxxxxx>
to say I cannot attend and should be taken off the log so that someone on the
wait list can take my spot. I haven’t received a reply, so I’m not sure if my
off-list replies are not getting to you or if there just hasn’t been a reply.
So I’m sending this final reply to the whole list just to be sure it is getting
through and someone else can take my spot and start making plans.

Hi TCC, James and all,
We should also ask at this point for everyone on list to re-commit if coming,
move through the waitlist as possible so people have time to prepare.
I need to drop out, just got handed the personal/work combo schedule problem
and can't do this on the October timing, looking forward to launching at Maddox
Dairy.
Blanked my space #9 on sheet, but will leave it up to you to process through
waitlist and other people who have to cancel.
Hope you guys have great conditions!

Hi Folks,
Since time is of the essence, COVID is still looming, we have a limited number
of attendees,
HUGE interest, we'd like to do the below to make sure everything is fair and
square:
- If you've not flown at a TCC launch, your name is not on the sign-in logbook
(and therefore won't be on the waitlist).
- This launch is intended for TCC regulars; since we're the only club
that does not charge a yearly membership fee, we will go by the club
database which means if you signed up for the TCC Chat after I made
this announcement, you're not going to make the waitlist.
- If you have not been to a Blackrock Desert (BRD) Launch before you should
pass on this launch (there will be minimal services and very few people
should you get lost or need to find your way).
- If you are not a flyer, you should not be on the list.
- Limit for non-fliers, your significant other - no exceptions
(Rocket families are excluded).
- Limit for Junior-TRA/NAR - your mentor or ride to the launch site.
- People who are only coming for 1-day should NOT be on the list.
- People who plan to certify need to contact Gary Walker, Richard King or
myself ASAP
and let us know that this is your intention. If you plan to come out
on Friday for a cert flight and that's it, this is not your launch,
we can do that when COVID clears up ...
All this being said, could everyone send me email off-list so that I can update
the waitlist? There are a few people who are regulars who would like to come and
they need to make plans. Separately, I need to maintain my attendance list for
BLM verification.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
Best regards
-James

I was there last weekend for AeroPAC launch. They gave coordinates. I’ll assume
that TCC will be in the same or similar spot. You just drive to the
coordinates. The area is just so vast and there are no landmarks. Other than
the heat it was incredible. I’ve never seen so many stars.
It was even easy to see the Neowise comet with the naked eye. But I was able
to get some great shots with my camera too.

Notes/Answers to Questions
Helm launch - still not off the table, but no permission yet and not looking
good right now (the Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin, Tulare
and Stanislaus counties in California were
declared a hotspot last week with 11-18% infection rates versus 7.5% statewide).
Blackrock Desert launch - permission for 50 people (the Humbolt, Pershing, and
Washoe counties in Nevada currently open)
Place to camp - yes!
Days: Thursday Setup, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Usual Night Launch on Saturday
Altitude: 100K - Standing
Thanks everyone - I will have more details on requirements soon and
keep everybody apprised as things progress.
Best regards

I hate to bring this up but I would sure like to ride with someone for me to go.
My Honda Fit is 12 plus years old, it actually broke down a couple months ago
in a round trip attempt to Arizona and I do not want to risk that again. I will
help pay for gas (or completely cover the gas of the party I ride with). I
would ask only to take one small (not large) rocket project or none at all just
to be there.

Hey Folks,
Assuming we don't get a break (from COVID) ...
If we had October Skies at Blackrock this year, how many people would attend?
Limit would be 50 people ...
Could I get a head count?
