hint...Direct TV

The title for this was originally, "no clue...do you?" I had my answer the very next day. Direct TV... Their satellite was their largest payload launch to date...in May 2004.
The very next day, loren_X sent me this link... http://www.sea-launch.com/
Now curiosity will not kill the cat. I had originally cut and pasted some of their information. Upon further exploration and reading at their website, I realized that I needed written permission. So, instead I will share the Link that loren_x was so kind as to provide. This is a joint venture with three Countries and quite interesting. Especially some of their photos of prior satellite rocket launches. I cannot imagine what it must be like to witness in person. Especially if I just happened to be cruising by...think World War III?. I believe they do most of their launching from somewhere near or at the equator...so the chances I would ever witness the event are almost nil :(
