hardware is not 'hardware'. Milspec is good, if it works. It doesn't always work. And in space, only very few were ever produced - only 15ea Saturn 5's and the last one was produced over 40 years ago. MILSPEC means 'specified'. It doesn't mean has been tested and it works.

Sure, let's just stop down at the old Ace Hardware store and pickup a moon rocket. LOL.

But since we're fighting a budget deficit too, wouldn't it be more prudent to wait for a Blue light Special, or see if we can find something in the $1 Bargain Bins??
Better yet if all the freepers saved their ovaltine proof of purchase codes, we could send them in and get a Booster rocket or two. *lol*;)
