Because It’s Friday – Kaputnik

I was pleased with last Friday’s “Because It’s Friday“, published on December 6th about December 6th. So, when last Friday, December 6th, I saw this video on YouTube, again featuring December 6th – it had to be today’s post.

I loved the term “premature propellant depletion”!

Here is what NASA has to say on some of the NASA missions in the video.

International Space Station – NASA

Have a good weekend.
