The answer should be in tomorrows newsletter. I'll post it then. Not sure how this topic turned into a beer and tequila topic though...LOL.

See I told you Panic had the correct answer. Vacuum! Joking aside, very interesting

Not sure if I will buy the corona effect. Working on vacuum chambers we did see the effect but it was only while we were pulling down. Once we re4ached 3x10^4 mmbars of pressure the arcing went away. So unless the Spaceship was going in and out of vacuum I do not see how that burned up the motors. FYI...I learned about this phenomenon the hard way. I added some flourecent lights to a vacuum chamber and these lights shot out arcs which fired several load cells and controller modules. After some testing I found that once you reach a certain level of vacuum this will not continue to happen. So I set the lights to energize once that level was reached. We nicknamed the pressure level the spark zone. Needless to say it put on an incredible light show.

There's a big difference between the tequilas you normally buy in Europe and some of the finest mexican brands, for example Don Julio. If all you ever tasted was cheap european stuff, I understand you, though...
