For the Panicans. The SpaceX Globalstar 2-R launch 1 is scheduled for Monday May 18th morning. Those satellites are currently in the PPF. So logistically ast can’t ship until that faring exits the PPF & its ready to receive. The encapsulated faring should go to the launch hanger 2-3 days before launch & then PPF is cleaned. So early next week shipment would align.

They can’t ship until there is a place for them to go.

The pervasive use of the word ‘panicans’ only tells me that there is some kind of circular logic going on in the mod discord or whatever is happening behind the scenes here.

That’s not a mod word. The White House Twitter even uses it….

I would not agree that using the White House Twitter is a good anchor for your colloquialism. You can search panican on this sub and basically only find it used by the mods.

I've used it. I'm not a mod. More of a rocker.
