FYI, one of the Energiya strap-on booster engines (an RD-170) went kerplooie on the launch pad last week, taking out both the Zenith launcher, and the launch pad as well.... As for cloning a Soviet rocket, be my guest. The Soviets would be happy to license any of their satellite launcher designs to you. Got any money? -- David Anderman Internet: David.Anderman@ofa123.fidonet.org --------------------------------------------------------------------------
