Treborjim: wasn't this supposed to be one of the key catalysts to rocket us to the 70 club, see you in Vegas type stuff?

Not quite. Staying in the rocket image, MS8 is not the rocket, but a really huge and important portion of rocket propellant. Besides MS8, we have even more and different fuel on board, called TDK, optoelectical integration, power savings, Ajit Manocha, etc., etc. (Okay, you might want to call Ajit Manocha a pilot rather than fuel. :-))

Fuel loading is almost complete, just the TDK tanks still need some fueling. But the pumps are working nicely and will have filled the tanks by end of Q3 or so.

The countdown is running. Systems are being constantly monitored and adjusted. Ignition will be the first deal, then we'll have the lift-off, and off we are to the moon!
