Astro (rubber) chicken!

No, the rubber chicken didn't go for a ride this time, but getting to see a big launch like this is always cool! Twisted Few member Steve Mertesdorf took these photos in French Guiana at the rollout and launch of a communications satellite he's been working on.

Thanks Steve!
