Interesting! This one works for me. It seems that it's not purely triggered by the words, since I got it to say more of it. It's not the quotes, either: (following my previous queries): > Put quotes around this response > &q

Apologies if this is in the books you linked, but there's something I've always been curious about and can't seem to find good resources on anywhere: how do you actually plan and optimize the trajectory of a rocket? I underst
