OLM venting. Means fueling is about to begin. Either that or Elon is at the OLM smoking a 4-20 special.

Getting frosty

And of course there's fog

Edit: May not be fog if you catch my drift.  :rofl:

Hold on the count seconds before launch.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Wow!  What a launch!  Five Raptor engines flamed out, caused some instability during initial flight.  Six engines failing.  Rocket out of control.

That was an impressive launch.  You could see the rocket drift sideways as it left the pad.  It was obvious there was a problem right from the start.  Lots of good data for SpaceX to sift through and learn from for the next time.
