"...after reading the plan....I'm more than jittery..."

Not to worry. Nothing dangerous is likely to happen in the first minute, and after that, we'll be on our way!

Perhaps I shouldn't have let my concerns over whether everything had been anticipated slip out. I'm sure you've seen the type, fretting over seemingly unimportant details just before launch.

"Ohmigod! Did we pack enough toilet paper?" (A legitimate concern, but not one that will affect flight characteristics.)

It's just nervousness. I've been assured it won't work at all. "Behold," I say, "the power of imagination!"

(If you get a chance, read "Chapter Seventeen" on my about page -- "I've been to the future, and it works!")

Do we have the "o" rings under control....or is that not on the ship? : )

I'll read your chapter....maybe it has more information about those unimportant things, lol.
