I can't think of any task more important, beyond, obviously, the basics of day-to-day subsistence, that could help to build the longer term future of Haiti.

When the missile is prepared for viewing, each of the entity--each of the team members will have another specific role while they go up and they inspect.

They're just making sure it doesn't move.
