Do you feel sad for the DRAGON?

[AviatorTom]

This would have been the first satellite with a Dragon on it, but the Virgin Orbit rocket's 2nd stage that was carrying it shut down too soon and it (and the other satellites it was carrying) burned up in the atmosphere as it fell into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Spain.

Are you sad for the poor Dragon?

Not really, wasn't there a Welsh astronaut who already took the Welsh flag into space? Anyway as emotional as I am, and believe me I cry at sad commercials, but it’s REALLY hard to feel anything about a sticker!

Nah, it's been in space before in 1998 when Dafydd Rhys Williams took it up.

The scary thing is the welsh government promoting the welsh space program by highlighting the tiny population (I shit you not)

What''s the problem? The fire dragon burned up and now Wales swim in the ocean...

The irony is not lost on me that the dragon died by fire.

I'm kind of lost... since I do not know what a DRAGON is, cannot quite understand the scale... of the situation

[SnowedIn]

@NathanDavis ... well played! It's probably too long of a tail for here.

[NathanDavis]

thought I would just wing it... but I don't want to drag on with the puns, lol...

as this might be a big deal for the aero-enthusiasts

[SnowedIn]

@NathanDavis ... oh wow. You have bested me with the last one. "drag on". That takes the cake! Hats off to you sir.

[SnowedIn]

Thank you for MHO!
