Ugh.

So, last year around this time, we had a software launch for this product I was working on that failed to clear the launchpad and exploded in a massive fireball.

The client...was not impressed. But did agree to hang on and give it another shot.

Today was the second launch.

We have cleared the tower and made minor course corrections. As yet, we have not achieved a completely stable orbit, but we hope to get more telemetry data tomorrow and figure out what to tell the astronauts.

still...ugh

Wow, that musta been some fireball if it set you back a full year. Also, impressive that the client held on this long.

Well, we were trying to sell them our shiny new space shuttle, but since they were already using good ol' reliable Soyuz, they were willing to be lenient.
