I was going to use his football team, but I couldn't remember which one it was - I think he supports Atlético Madrid...which would have been funny, as their top player is a striker called Falcao - and you see where I'm going with the play on words with Falcon

I don't see the nozzles, surely you are not implying that it is headed for Spruce Knob!

Been looking forward to it for a while now
I hope everything goes well. This rocket has been sitting around too long for my liking.

PERISH THE THOUGHT!!! I'ts the Athletic [sic - in English] Bilbao, founded WITH THAT NAME in 1898 (4 years before the "Madrid Football Club" - also in English - which became Real Madrid only in 1920.)
FYI, Chris, the English influence in the Athletic continues to this day - the Athletic players still formally refer to their trainer as "El Míster"
My grandfather was a second cousin of Juan Elorduy (see the history of the A.B. at Wikipedia) and first cousin of Luis Astorquia (whom I met as a child) a 6ft 2in A.B. goalie in the 1920's who is supposed to have scored a goal FROM A GOAL KICK (apparently the kick flew over everybody and the opposing goalie was blinded by the low sun... or so the Elias family tradition has it...)
SO be careful not to confuse the Athletic with the Atlético... Hrrumph!...
Humbug!...

No, just someone who spends a fair amount of time in the caves of it's shadow. GVKS (Germany Valley Karst Survey).

Guess the hotfire on the 12th will be one way to clear the snow off the pad!

Having no live feed of the hot fire will reduce the intensity of this party thread, unfortunately.

Let there be gaiety of insightful speculation then!
Could some of the snow melt?
