Jolly good show. Second, as I listened to your talk, I noticed one omission in your explanation of rocket launch technology that I think you really needed -- explaining why nearly all rockets heading for orbit launch toward the east. Hopefully you can re-visit this point sometime soon. I bet younger students would find that most interesting. Cheers! First, congrats on reaching the century mark. Jolly good show.
