Given that ERPS vehicles don't use towers (anything past Spike won't
even use a rail), and the civilian pilot who kept asking for
permission to take off during XCOR's abort, in spite of the tower
telling him to maintain radio silence, it probably ought to be called
a Tower of Babble situation.
Speaking of babble, the ERPS room party at WorldCon apparently went
very well. I missed most of it (I had a good reason). I do apologize
for Bruce popping all those balloons. If you ever see a Boeing
engineer named Bruce blowing up balloons, take them away from him; he
is up to no good.
