<p><strong>Phys-side:</strong> HOLY SHIT</p>
<p><strong>Phys-side:</strong> They weren&rsquo;t kidding about the bang. Two of them, actually, as the rockets fired a half second before the launch. We&rsquo;ve got two injuries up here - bumps and bruises. Reports from the torus indicate that damage was minimal. Some sloshing from the hydroponics, but that&rsquo;s easy to clean up. One of the furnaces will need some care. Worst bit of damage, however, is that the solar array suffered a cascading failure: one panel broke loose and tumbled end-over-end across a few hundred others. Power&rsquo;s still nominal, though. We&rsquo;ll get it fixed.</p>

<p><strong>Phys-side:</strong> Did you feel anything up there?</p>
<p><strong>Sys-side:</strong> Har har. No, nothing up here. I, like you, wish that we had, though. If there had been some sudden jolt or a flicker of the lights, I think that perhaps this launch would have felt more real. I suspect that my cocladist, Dear, Also, The Tree That Was Felled, would have simulated an earthquake at the exact moment of launch, destroying its home in the process, but alas, it was one of those hopeless romantics who transferred entirely to the LVs without leaving a fork. I will have Ioan (my pet historian) ask if it did so from the LVs. I would not be surprised.</p>
<p><strong>Phys-side:</strong> Your clade sounds fascinating. I don&rsquo;t understand a single bit of it.</p>
