They'll get it together in short order. There was a time when we couldn't get a rocket off the ground, even with Von Braun and his boys doing the design work. Just take a look at film footage of some of our early adventures in rocketry. IIRC, the saying at the time was something like "When the countdown clock hits zero, something's gonna happen."

True, rocketry is an art.

The H2 is an old launch system that has been around quite a while. This launch failed and the range safety officer had to act because one of the solid boosters failed to jettison.
