It's missing a star?

Nope! The Falcon 9 is the last star!

T-shirts with the patch are listed in the SpaceX shop, but currently "out of stock."

They went in stock about an hour after I posted that. Ordered one right away.

As noted, as the flight rate increases, having a party thread for each mission could be a bit messy, so we said we'd go with a general party thread for "regular" missions and reserve the specific party threads to CRS missions and big events like the first FH, Dragon 2 and so on.

Following suggestions and a vote for a winner, the title has now been selected.

How about "Welcome to the SpaceX Party Party Launch Thread"?

MattMason · « **Reply #8 on:** 04/19/2016 03:15 PM »

BYOLF: "The Bring-Your-Own-Liquid-Fuel" General Party Thread."

Solid fuel munchies, too. We like to be inclusive.

MattMason · « **Reply #9 on:** 04/19/2016 03:21 PM »

One more:

"The SpaceX 'Tank Up and Chill' General Party Thread."

I'll stop now.

rocx · « **Reply #10 on:** 04/19/2016 03:34 PM »

The very obvious title: Launch and land and relaunch party!

rocx · « **Reply #11 on:** 04/19/2016 03:35 PM »

Also as was suggested in the BEAM party, "SpaceX wants to party all the time thread"

rocx · « **Reply #12 on:** 04/19/2016 03:37 PM »

And finally, as a play on the saying "we're successful when launches are boring", I suggest the "No launch is ever boring SpaceX Party thread".

So we need a suggestion for the title of the general party thread title, with the suggestion with the most likes becoming the title of this thread.

Such as "SpaceX Falcon 9 'Jim says it's only a ComSat Launch' Party Thread."

Well I guess we can keep using this party thread until we suffer a collapsed landing leg and the thread tips over and is destroyed.

No! We'd spill our fuels all over the ~~barge~~ deck and ruin our ~~barbeque~~ solid fuel prep! We'd have to invoke 5-second rules for ~~eating~~ cleanup!

"Merlin's hangout - the SpaceX party thread"

CraigLieb · « **Reply #16 on:** 04/19/2016 03:59 PM »

how about, given this is an election year (in the US):

"I'm voting for the SpaceX Party" Thread

CraigLieb · « **Reply #17 on:** 04/19/2016 04:02 PM »

You know what happens if we have a straight open vote:
we may end up with the "Boaty McBoat Face" Party Thread
