He just told me to go grab a cold one! I like him!!!!

I guess if I had 600-800 million of satellites setting on a bomb, I'd also be a little cautious

Speaking of cold ones, had a really hoppy IPA the other day from a local craft brewer called "Hop Monster".

The launch window closure is rapidly approaching.
