If it was a plane, how come this thread doesn’t appear repeatedly, every single week of every year?
Why have Californians only found this one, “spectacular” launch/contrail, when they’ve witnessed thousands?
Why did this one light up the entire sky?
Why are rocket engineer friends working out west who send up things from Vandenberg, now completely shocked by the footage?
Why are they now silent — unlike how how openly they spoke during the first 36 hours?
Excellent post
You must now get ready for the insulting “replies”
Nah...those folks just insult themselves. I’ve been here a long time, and I’ve found that those who are quick to anger and enjoy a game of taunting others -— well, they don’t hold some of the core values of FReepers at all. Intolerance for other’s opinions is a dead giveaway of the left.
I really do come here to learn and to share ideas & information. Those who stick around threads just to heckle and trip up the steps of others, are in my opinion like a piece of old gum stuck to your shoe. I feel that I can either do my best to ignore the “gum” and enjoy my day, or I can get all worked up about it. These people sometimes resemble drill sergeants to me because they get right up in your face, tell you what to think, they tell you you’re basically stupid and they yell at you some more.
Myself, simply put I don’t trust anyone in our government anymore and I am a seeker of the truth. And over the past few years, I’m probably even more inclined to believe the exact opposite of anything coming from the fed. I just want the facts.
So that said, thanks for the support. My husband just retired from the Marine Corps, and given the “training” I’ve had over the last 20 years or so, I’ve learned that the strongest and most impressive people I’ve ever met are all within the Marine family and on my side.
