Giving up rocketry

Looks like we weren't the only ones who gave up rocketry due to terrorism (but at least we did it more than 7 years ago..)

I remember being most terrified of that Saturn V of Gordon's (?) that nearly took our heads off, and that British Standards-compliant "Standard Firework" which exploded on the launchpad, whereas all the dodgy Chinese and German imports worked fine :-)

I still remember our co-rocket scientist, Marcus.

Wonder what he's up to these days (if he's still alive:)
