Old "bang bang" is a great idea, just makes a mess of the launch pad!

I recommend Larry Niven's "Footfall", great book, the best line is, "it doesn't matter if the first nuke doesn't go off, but if the second one fails you are in trouble!"
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
