  there is this one problem with launching from a getaway... NASA does
not allow the release of anything from a special. (you are allowed to
have the top open itself, so you can look out, and radiate heat. no
other emmissions (radio, com laser, etc) allowed. Also these things
are the size of a 30gal trash can, it would be awfuly hard to fit it
in.

 no reason not to do it, it just will have to go up as a regular load.
that is a lot more expensive... (it is claimed that the cost of a
getaway is less than the cost of the extra fuel required....)
