As for Tau Zero, it sounds like a good LAUNCH story to me...
I've been wondering that very thing. Let me get the EMRR review and the instruction sheet done. (Oof. Then there's the SLS version. )


Thanks yet again,

I guess that means I'm committed to LAUNCH now.


Thanks and cheers,

At our house we have a Rule. It's called "There Must Be Real Money in the Bank Before We Can Spend It." (No, I didn't make it up, but I've learned to co-exist with it peacefully.)

So I had to wait to deposit my check that had my overtime from the 4th of July before I could Plunk My Virtual Cash Down. (If you Get What I Mean.)

So good luck with that!

Jay, I don't remember how I did it when I set up my Paypal account, but when I pay for something via Paypal, it automatically and immediately transfers money from my checking account to Paypal to make the payment.

We don't have that Rule at my house, but we really ought to a lot of times. My wife and I both have a hard time with delaying gratification even thought we know it's to our detriment.

Of course, if I couldn't spend money I didn't have, I couldn't have come to NARCON 2006!

It's been so long since I've done it that I didn't remember until you mentioned it. I think the option is called an "e-check." (I coulda paid Mark quicker!)

Cheers,

Until I bought the PDR Trident, and then the subscription to "Launch," I didn't remember what would happen as far as how and when the money would be transferred. I hardly ever use Paypal.

Default First Issue

Mark,

Is it too late to subscribe and still receive the first issue? If not, how much longer can one wait?

Chris

I happen to think PayPal is a rocketeers dream.
My better half seems to disagree though.
My latest deal.......
Sheri's Hot Rockets Little Joe.
Excellent customer service. Great looking kit.
Can't wait to start it.
