Why not party threads for, say, ULA launches?

Chris tried them for Antares, they sorta fissiled.... Apparently ULA fans are a bit better behaved and don't need a timeout room ;)

...Though, Tory Bruno did recently tweet about his grandmother taking his dynamite away  ;D

Perhaps the dearth of SpaceX fannish stuff might make at least this Cygnus launch something to chat about. But I see your point. Save the occasional use of laudinum by Tory Bruno where we happily mistake him as a SpaceX intern, other commercial rocketeers seem far too serious.

Perhaps a general party thread for the ULA or related families. While SpaceX party threads are BYOB and tailgating, perhaps we can hire a fine cater, import in some cooling absinthe for the L C2H5OH tests. Nice hors' d'oeuvres. A little light clapping and "good show!"

Soon we'll get that Tory Bruno with dynamite shot and cause quite the scandal!

"No, no...we can't have those. ULA represents serious rocketry. Decades of reliability and dedication. We must hold discussions of great import and consequence."


They do just like the great ones in sports do when they score.  They act like they have been there before.

I look at this on a Friday and can only think, "WHEEEE!"

Please keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle. You will get set on fire on this ride!

This one was exciting too, but it was deliberate.



It's the safe way to drain fuel from a solid booster.  ;D

Yeah, Tory's launches leave quite an impression ;)

Hadn't realize he was involved with THAAD. He really gets around...

OK is it time to discuss the next party thread name?
possible Themes to weave in:
   RTF
   Orbcomm-2
   landing attempt
   re-light stage 2 test

1) RayTF ORBcommisson  - Anything you want, You got it
2) RTF Orbcomm-2 Launch, Land, and Relight

... what other possibilities?

On the ground floor of the National Space Foundation... Colonize Mars!

Need a SpaceX version of this t-shirt used by a certain Italian midfield maestro.



No SpaceX, No Party.

Anyone want to photoshop? ;D

PS Will be setting up the ORBCOMM-2 threads this weekend. No I'm not asking for Party Thread suggestions ;)

Sounds like we need a thread of rejected party thread titles.
