Mayf---you're funnin again! Surely you know that the guys down in your neck
of the woods (Sandia, I think) have already "pogo'd" a rocket up into the
atmosphere by blasting its dupa with pulses from a ground-based laser. But I
didn't say what you said I said. Still, come to think of it, you could
push/pulse your Sunbeam thru the traps on the salt with a big laser sitting
in the staging area---really give the SCTA rule book guys something to
ponder!
