I'm truly impressed by Orbital and their partners how they performed this test mission.
Such an impressive mission should have a "catch-prase" like the "famous" "Dragon by the Tail" quote from Don Pettit, like James Dean of Florida Today (
@flatoday_jdean)
suggested, but i have not come up with anything cool yet.
Given the PVGF position on the backside of the Cygnus the naturally equivalent expressions I could think of on the spot would be something like:
"Catch a Swan by the Tailfeathers" (really silly), or
"Grab the Swan's a$$" (really rude).
Surely someone here must have a better suggestion as to what catch-phrase Karen could have said?

Orbital themselves just gave it a go in

@AstroKarenN Fantastic photo of #Cygnus. Thanks for leading the swan to the nest.
Really sweet/nice/cute/"Aawww...", but not much of a cool-factor...
Swan's
could be sort-of cool, like The "Cyggi" mascot in MCC-H.

This is PERFECT, you guys! The next party thread has justification now for being called a Kegger.

Considering it will launch in the middle of the night full and provide a nice light show, how about a rave?

Another co-incidence is that December 15 is roughly the same time when the Chinese will try putting their lander, rover & flag on the Moon (give or take 2-3 days either side....), so maybe we need to get drunk for the upcoming Christmas invasion of lunar territory.
