I did not like this one at all. "Stage" is one of the last things to think of as getting you above the clouds. I get the rocket stage and all, and in fact, I thought of "rocket" as a potential part of the answer, but that connection is a real stretch.
I guess I could've possibly thought stage fright would happen in front of a crowd, but even then it would've been tough to make the stage connection.
Oh well, hopefully tomorrow's is better!
