[Harc] Next Launch Attempt 12/28 1808 PT

[Andrius D. Ilgūnas]

Agreed! If some folks aren't interested in this topic, they aren't forced
to read it :)

Anthony, might you have a link to a web page that'll show the flight path
over terra firma? It wouldn't have to be a real-time, "this is where the
rocket is now", although that would be cool too. But perhaps one that would
show us the planned trajectory? And if I'm wanting to be greedy, maybe
another one that describes the orbit details, eg inclination, azimuth,
apoapsis, periapsis, etc.?
