Description:

30 minute countdown at 9:30 PM, launch at 10 PM.

Join the intrepid crew of the Raygun Gothic Rocketship for our first post retro-fit launch. Following consultations with engineers and
scientists from around the world, we're going to test our revolutionary new Uira engines, designed to carry us further, faster & beyonder than ever before!

Under command of test pilot Gus Gristle, we plan to make a short flight, before loading provisions and equipment for our true outbound voyage.

Listen for the Victory Siren, and you'll know it's time to get to the launch pad, and watch us re-make history!

Note: fueling operations will commence shortly after 1 PM on Friday. The rocketship will be closed due to possible explosive radiatomic hazard during the fueling process.

A 250' perimeter is required for launch. Please respect the perimeter crews - in fact, keep them company, and get the best spot on the playa to watch this historic moment!

Following the launch, stick around and celebrate the r-evolution of technology and our aspirations to explore the stars. Musical accompaniment provided by Space Cowboys and the Unimog crew.
