In reply to Edward.

How many other launch groups are using hybrid engines?

From what I can guess not many if any.

Which should be a clue as to how effective it is.

In reply to Robert Zimmerman. Regardless, I hope you enjoy your time here. Spokane means children of the sun and we live like it :)

After all, it *is* rocket science, and it isn’t easy to get into space.

In reply to wodun. We did not come prepared for hiking, as this is a visit with old friends who don't do that stuff. Instead, we go to restaurants and watch movies.

And yet one more company finally abandons the old bottle rocket idea.

Hope you get out and enjoy some of our spectacular outdoor activities. You might enjoy seeing the channeled scab lands from the Columbia Plateau Trail or from a boat on one of the local lakes. Klink,’s, at Badger Lake, has great food.

If you do hit any local trails or parks, be sure to check if a Discover Pass is needed for parking. Thankfully, one is not needed on the Centennial Trail.
