Yes, that works in a test - but I wrote the code not to care about that! I think it’s the problem, though, and I think it’s time I did a ground-up rewrite now that I’ve learned the very basics of Ruby. The code right now is a hybrid of what I got off github:dorthu, who wrote the roller used on the SU&SD forum, and my own amendments. ---

I’ve got 4 Juno’s and a probe I’d like to get to orbit. No money though. Would have to be future money or tech.
