Odd (yes, ODD, Jon ;) ) thread title was breaking forum format, so put a space in it.

I was mostly trying to channel silly Twitter hashtags, like #WenHop? and the like.

We all can use a bit of silly in our lives.

And it looks like the 9 of you who voted for August were the winners this time around! Just a flesh wound.

Though for those of you who voted September (like me), I wouldn't feel too bad. We were pretty close. Glad the weather finally cooperated, and I'm also glad the flight has so far gone so smoothly.

Congrats to those at SpaceX who burned the candle at both ends to make a turn around like this happen so fast!

I'll give it a day or two before the Flight 11 timing poll.

I'm learning that I'm pessimistic. Though I'm happy that my guesses are always wrong. This time only by a week :D

I've been a little optimistic sometimes and a little pessimistic other times. But most of the guesses were within a few weeks, so I'd say that was pretty good, even if most of us were a tiny bit pessimistic.

Since I voted October, most of you can mock me to your hearts content. Congratulations to the Starship team.

No, I haven't changed my mind that it was a mistake going for the gigantic with multiple new technologies.
