    I just spent the morning watching the launch of the mars reconnaissance 
    orbiter on NASA TV.
    
    the LV performed flawlessly, sep was fantastic and  confirmation was just 
    received that the solar arrays have deployed,  it is also confrimed that 
    they are drawing power.
    
    congratulations to the nasa and lockmart teams!
    
    I guess nobody could have gotten a gander of the vehicle after launch/before 
    sep unless they were out sailing on the southern indian ocean...  I look 
    forward to getting a look at the atlas and centaur stages in the near 
    future.
    
    clear skies!
