I dunno, thread title seems more apt now than ever
Hence the suggestion. I get a feeling the title might have jinxed this launch.

I'm inclined to agree on the need for a change. All that happens thus far is restarts. It hasn't worked yet so maybe we need to make it more in line with "Just Freaking Start".

thinking "Just press the button".. thinking of a tweet today... "wuss, just launch the damn thing, be a man" to Elon..

You may want to try this....

Hey old china, we’d like this ainaaa to end, so could you please get that chick to fly soon, so we can all say Hamba Kahle to her….

And I totally don't get any of the references in that.

This is fun. We're witnessing why this may be the last ever party thread.

Because everyone is generally unconscious or incarcerated by the time a party has gone on this long? I don't think I can stand another scrub.

Why so, I do not see any RIOTs happening.......... The intermission entertainment, between launch attempts, is a bit off though.

Some folks been imbibing with the hypergolics again?

You guys siphoned it off the Falcon and that’s why the turbopumps were slow spooling up?

I'd be saddened if that were the case. I think these party threads help with the NSF "community building" by giving a look into the various personalities on the site - without polluting the "information" threads.

And it IS fun! Nothin' wrong with that ...

Thanks Gramps, I reposted this tidbit to the update thread (may get dinged, who knows).. .and I have to say if Jason1701 is right, KSC are party poopers... their time stamp is the END of the window

Chris has been working through with the flu, so he's not in the best of moods, understandably. He's not going to be happy with me repeating that!

I do think we can improve these Party threads, however. This site has always been about quality and I can only imagine what Chris is thinking when reading the last few pages of this thread. There were even some members posting twitter updates from other sites, ignoring the live update thread on this site, during the last countdown. Mix that in with "LOL" posts and you can the problem Chris has with it.

I'm sure Chris will find a solution to improve how this works.
