These people though, their scant ounces of emissions look smoky and are therefore WORSE.

there was no description and all comments were locked. It would be interesting to see what it was all about. I was amazed when it went up into the air, and then especially the parachute.

It brings out the pyrotechnic/pyromaniac kid in me! That's even more exciting than launching an anvil. What are these brilliant folks celebrating, anyway? Whatever it is, I want to participate.

Hearing the celebration of it…. The idea that being it wasn't a nuclear payload was bonus.

So, maybe the next time, the technology of this feat will be based on cleaner science. However, it's THE IDEA that the goal was creative like fireworks, based on advancing of technology gets my kick!
