Release Announcement:

“12/16/2008
Tau Zero
Semroc ships TAU ZERO
I can't believe how long I've been waiting for this. And now that it's finally here, I'm so excited I can't think straight! Here goes anyway.

December 16, 2008

Knightdale, NC -- Just in time for stuffing your favorite rocketeer's stocking (or your own), Semroc Astronautics Corporation announces its latest release, Jay "Centuri Guy" Goemmer's TAU ZERO.

(Oh, heck. Just go here and order yourself a bunch: )

http://www.semroc.com/Store/scripts...ts.asp?SKU=KN-2

ATTENTION COLLECTORS:

For those of you who are interested in extremely "low number" Tau Zeroes, Semroc is sending me a limited amount of them numbered #35 and under. (Per Semroc's standard procedures, they keep #1-5 of each kit they release.)

If you want to "get in line" for a low numbered TZ, please send an e-mail with the subject line "Tau Zero low numbers" to:

tau (underscore) zero (at) earthlink (dot) net

I haven't received them yet, but once I do, I'll have to make arrangements for shipping them from my address. And since I'm not flush with the cash like Semroc is , I'll have to charge shipping for them. I'm thinking in terms of the USPS Priority Mail flat rate box, so the cost of shipping will be added to the price of the kit.

NOTICE: I probably won't be able to begin shipping these Tau Zeroes until after January 1, 2009. So if you can't wait and just want to get your hands on a Tau Zero that you'd rather build instead of collect, please visit Our Sponsors ASAP:

http://www.semroc.com/Store/scripts...ts.asp?SKU=KN-2

Thanks, everybody for your support, enthusiasm, and interest! EXTRA SPECIAL thanks to Carl, Sheryl, Bruce and the rest of the gang at Semroc for deciding to offer my Tau Zero design as a kit! From my e-mail to you earlier today:

"Wow. I mean, WOW!"

+++

Tim Bennett from Huntingdon, TN wins the official "Johnny on the Spot" award:

http://www.oldrocketforum.com/showp...5&postcount=213

Go ahead, Tim. Help yourself to 8 or 9 Tau Zeroes, now available from Semroc for the low, *low* price of $18.50 each!

On second thought, you may want to save a few for other people, since I'm not sure how many Tau Zeroes Sheryl has bagged up just now.

Cheers, and Merry Christmas to everyone”
