Distraction
Amidst all the talk about the Shuttle launch this weekend (hopefully), the fact that we had a successful Delta 4 launch from Vandenberg seems to have gone largely unnoticed. A few more successes of this vehicle and the Atlas V could at least put a stake through the heart of the "stick," given that the design of it still seems to be in flux, and it's turning out not to be as "safe, simple or soon" as advertised.

This is funny. I decided to link to http://www.safesimplesoon.com, but the site is down. Is it just a temporary problem, or did ATK decide it was an embarrassment?

Looks like the curse has finally been lifted on the launch site.

Safe, Simple, Soon. That's the oddest type of "Dangerous, Complex, Late (and Expensive)" that I've seen to date. Don't they use spellcheckers at NASA?
