The funny thing about this link is that it says:
A test mission was launched into Earth orbit in December 2002 to check out TrailBlazer's launch vehicle, a Dnepr rocket, and the spacecraft separation process.
"That launch performed flawlessly," said Laurie. "Our second step is to go to the Moon." TrailBlazer's launch is set for early 2004.
WHY DIDN'T WE HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? |
Those of us who regularly read
www.space.com heard about it when it happened. It's interesting to note that the TransOrbital website (
http://www.transorbital.net/bluespar...p?action=index) hasn't been updated since 2004.
BTW, why are you shouting?
