Uh, oh. **handy** , you just unleashed the wrath of the Junior Potsmoker Brigade.

Me? I’m launchin’ from Curacao, under **Coldfire** ’s flag. What the heck? It’s still red, white and blue, and they’re not swiftly turning into an asshole nation.

Whaddaya say, **Coldie**? Curacao, or better yet Bonaire because it’s downrange, is closer to the equator than Canaveral, and you pick up some free rotational velocity as a result. Has the ESA looked into launching rockets from the Netherlands Antilles, or are they still stuck on Guiana?
