Roachmill Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 I see on the Shetland Times that Lockheed Martin have released a video to help show what a launch may look like. While my childlike excitement levels at the thought of such a spectacle saw a major uptick... I did wonder what just such an event would do to all wildlife within *gestures wildly in all directions* miles away. It would likely be a good day for manure collection I fear.
