Whew... caught it 20 seconds after launch. Looking good so far.

17 million horsepower per engine. Why are we still comparing it to the horse?

Apple can now easily afford its own Geo-Sync sat - and with launches at $50 million out of Russia's
facilities, They could do one every month for the next 10 years, and only eat up 9% of current cash load
(based on current quarter profits not yet reported)!!
I think that their own particle beam weapon should be among the technology up there, to take shots at
Google, RIM, M$ and other trouble makers, as well as start the Apple iSat ISP.
I'd join up - everyone joins, the iPhone works on it - and we all get home ISP too at 45mbit up/down
so we can use our Macs and our Apple TVs.
No proper response from the computer - it shoots voltage to your fingers through your M$ mouse!

Newton seconds seems like a better way to rate rocket engines.

What, no Slug /Foot/Second ?
(Never liked "Sluggy Units" as my old Physics teacher discussed them.)
