March 16th 1996, Texas Spacelines Inc. launched 
the first Nemesis I rocket into the skies of 
West Texas.  It impacted on the third planet 
from the Sun.  The inhabitants thereof gathered 
around it and laughed heartily at the puny 
engineering efforts of the humans, then carried 
the rocket back to their vehicle.  The Texas 
Spacelines launch crew borrowed a tradition of 
the ancient Greeks by building a victory cairn, 
then they returned to San Antonio.....The 
rocket was going great guns when the hillside 
got in the way.  Total length of the flight 
was 100 feet, which is actually good for a 
thing that was never intended to fly.  Better 
steering is next - a small engine test of a 
liquid injection TVC system is upcoming.
