I was TSM for GREF in UKIaME, GIS wasnt part of GREF and both GREF and GIS had to conform to both OIMS and CIMS. JC were also part of GREF and looked after both DS and UP at StC and LtHd.

Do a grid and first one to get a line wins.

But there is a element of science to Rocketry. Physical motion, e=MC2 and all that.
