    Elon…We are Go for lunch!..I mean Launch!

    … And the vehicle is going thru MECO Main engine cutoff… That’s when the vehicle is at its highest hydrozunamic temperature range…

    All this shit is old school NASA lingo that should stay in NASA where it matters. At home, I don’t run around texting my wife “main motor engaged” when the washing machine starts to go chacka chacka. I say "yes ma’am, I’m doing the laundry.

    We are launching this rocket in 5 minutes. Oh man look at how awesome the fireball looks! Stuff like that, not cryptic NASA shit that nobody cares about other than the engineers and the crew.
