Day 1 (Part 4) !

Well, more stories from yesterday.

Matt Abrams from the Starclimber team suffered some mechanical problems yesterday while attempting a qualification run.  While talking to him yesterday, he told me that there were some problems with the ribbon gripping mechanism and the gears driving it.  I haven’t talked to him today yet, but yesterday he still held out some hope of being able to get it fixed and then trying to qualify again.  Good luck Matt!
