    I forgot another issue.
    Was there a real stand-down on orbital launches outside of Russia???
    I heard here was an issue with the US Naval Observatory Clock synching?
    I heard it was an issue with a high security world standard clock network signal at the NIST
    Radiation Physics building one floor down??
    At t-10 sec the Rocket clock initiates an exact valid flight path is performed after motor
    gimmbeling servo initialises. That is why the motor wobbles at t-10 seconds.
    I tthink Musk needs to do something about synching 31 motors at once. If he launched and failed
    on insertion he simply needed servo experts to look at a topic I am clueless about. Robert Stengel
    has a Princton contract to rebuild Boeing corp. airliner servo control systems.
