<VV> Ultimate rear engine?

[Jay Pitchford]

I have a neighborhood friend that is planning on making one of the last
shuttle launches ... he might give up a Hawaii vacation to get there. If
he's crazy enough to do that, just to be able to say he watched a shuttle
launch, then I'm crazy enough to go with him.
