safety code - site management and launch protocol
any takers?  I'm bushed!  ;o)

prioritize and schedule - what to do first?  what is more urgent?  what
can wait?  how do we decide?
Many will agree that it is a steep climb to enable a "new TRA" to
fulfill the promise it may one day.  Yet resources are finite.

Lets start at 3000 ft with a 1lb object.....assume a drag coefficent of .75
...assume a descent rate is 50 ft/s and assume the wind speed is 15
ft/s...how far will it drift? or the recovery distance?
3000ft  /  50/ft/s  = 60 seconds   so it will be in the air 1 minute
