I'm waxing philosophical here, but...it seems to me that, while it would be extremely kewl to get some of these old Enerjet motors again, they would soon lose their luster. We'd soon be preferring smoky motors instead.

I guess what I'm saying is that we (me included) are trying to recapture a bygone thrill. And while we may actually achieve that - once - maybe two or three times - it quickly loses its potency and we're then looking elsewhere.

Somewhat similar, I get a thrill out of flying a new rocket, but after only a few flights I want to build and fly something new and different.

This all means that, while we'd buy one pack of those Enerjet motors, we probably wouldn't buy many more.

Sometimes yesterday's thrill makes for a mundane rerun. Nevertheless, I keep thinking I'd buy a bunch of those B14-0's :)
