Columbiad: "Our Industrial Sounding System (ISS) is a fully portable gun launch system capable of providing low-cost sounding flights from any road accessible site on Earth. Economical glide probes are able of carrying payloads to altitudes of more than 100 km and our rocket assisted probes will carry payloads to 250 km or more. With a normal launch rate of 2 flights an hour and rapid launch rates of up to 6 flights an hour this system is capable of providing inexpensive access to space for a wide variety of research projects.

Our Industrial Sounding System is also a scale prototype for an industrial capacity satellite launching system and will be used to develop the technologies for satellite launching. Although not intended as a primary launch service, the prototype satellite launching vehicle for the ISS is designed to demonstrate all of the functions of a normal satellite launcher, and will be capable of placing small nano-satelites into low Earth orbit."

We waited. We waited. We noticed the doorbell. We rang. We waited. Eventually we grew bold and entered. This brought us into a narrow hallway that had all the indications of being nothing more than drywall, veneer and ceiling tile. We said 'Hello....?' No one answered our question. We proceeded down the hallway flanked by doors, unsure as to whether the desire not to surprise someone for the sake of politeness overrode the rudeness of opening a closed door. At an impasse, we kept walking down the hallway, not opening any doors. But, we rapidly became trapped, when we realized that the only way out of this hallway was to open a door. Because it seemed the least likely to be the entrance to an office, bathroom or weird eastern European slave dungeon, we chose the last door the h...
