I always heard it thus (maybe it's a corollary): If you think you're the smartest person in the room, you'd better be the only person in the room.

My joke: Sometimes I need to speak with the most intelligent, wisest person around, and since that's me, I usually wind up talking to myself.

The video shows booster separation of the Japanese H2A2 F4 at 12:15:40, the Japanese ADEOS-2 at 12:16:20, the Australian FedSat at 12:16:40, the Japanese MicroLabSat at 12:17:00 and WEOS at 12:17:20.
I was the head of the spaceflight computer team on FedSat.
While it's really photogenic, FedSat was not supposed to be launched with a slow tumble like that - it made acquiring contact from the ground a non-trivial task as antennae are directional. But we got it sorted out and stabilised after two very nailbiting days.
The Japanese had some bad luck with their 3700kg greyhound-bus-sized ADEOS-II. The Solar Panel failed from unknown causes within a few months, and they lost all telemetry.
ZoeB:
There's no such thing as a free launch - but we got one anyway from the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA).
