I forgot another issue.

Was there a real stand-down on orbital launches outside of Russia???
I heard here was an issue with the US Naval Observatory Clock synching?

I heard it was an issue with a high security world standard clock network signal at the NIST
Radiation Physics building one floor down??

At t-10 sec the Rocket clock initiates an exact valid flight path is performed after motor
gimmbeling servo initialises. That is why the motor wobbles at t-10 seconds.

I tthink Musk needs to do something about synching 31 motors at once. If he launched and failed
on insertion he simply needed servo experts to look at a topic I am clueless about. Robert Stengel
has a Princton contract to rebuild Boeing corp. airliner servo control systems.
