It is a blessing that you Mike, are here commenting about the ordeal. I don't know you, but glad that you're not now a sadistic. A guy I knew just killed himself last month at MIR and no one really knows what happened. Stranger things other than Murphy's Law have taken rides with us in these kind of cars.
Like said, sh#t happens faster than you can say fast. A car could be quick on the ET, but it is the launch that is all the burden on stuff and the nerves.
