The fiery trace of the Electron's graceful launch arc is toward the east in this southern sea and skyscape, a composite of 50 consecutive frames taken over 2.5 hours.

No mention of the Beatles.

"Isn't he the guy from the wine cooler commercials?"

At a time when Ringo Starr was doing wine cooler commercials.

Saturday morning. What’s the hurry when you can go back to bed, check in on CoSo and have a cuddle? With the sweetest 116 lbs of cuddle.🥰
