Can we stay on thread please and kee the comic book speculation in appropriate threads. 
Which is the Party Thread.

My bad, I had two windows open and got my threads mixed up.

Carry On.

What happens when you have more than one window open?

Wind.

What does wind cause?

Knotty threads.

Weave err Leave your excess windows closed ;)

Back on topic.. (sorry):

Isn't it time to open a special party thread for the CRS-9 launch? I'm thinking of "Hope this ring will make it up to you" for a title.
Any day with a rocket landing is a fantastic day.

Just because Eutelsat expended its core doesn't mean we have to expend this thread. :)

Mission-specific party threads, except perhaps in special cases, are a thing of the past.

Yep. Note the thread title.

However, we're almost ready to retire this well-used thread for a new core. If Elon gets over 32 launches on his stuff, that would be notable.

This venerable thread's content can be etched on a 15-meter aluminum pole, dust portions of it with soot and white paint, add some legs on it and prop it up as a museum piece in front of NSF International Headquarters.

Gentle request:
If we do retire this thread and create a thread 2, can the first post clarify that this is as a semi-permanent party thread?  Are there rules now for what constitutes a special circumstance?

This is not the best in history (the bar is too high for me). And I couldn't find one of von Braun jumping on a pogo stick.

Sooo... for CRS-9...

Instead of landing bingo, is it going to be 'Ring Toss'?

At least we can be fairly sure the stage won't walk far after landing.


I hope.

I know others have asked for 'dislike' buttons...  but in this case, can we get a 'GROAN' button? ;)

On the other hand, it would probably get used against me... extensively! 8)

  Just saw this around the interwebs today and couldn't really think of another place to put it, I'm half expecting the guy is a forum member.
