1. I thought I was the only person who celebrated the spider of the year, but I heard that NASA just sent a big web into space?? Cool of them to get in the festive spirit like that

  2. Orion (non)launch glossary:

    • “hold”: the rocket’s still on the ground
    • “range issue”: there’s a boat in the way
    • “wind violation”: it’s a bit windy
    • “fill-and-drain valves will be cycled open and closed”: we’re pushing all the buttons to see if that makes the rocket go
    • “scrub”: same time tomorrow then!
