I like how the edge of the secondary engine breaks off at around 5:38.

@Skeetz: Oh honey look! The Tapirs!

It says here that the babies lose their pajama like coat after their first year. Isn't that interesting honey?

@Skeetz: I guess this is the benefit of the new star system? So pictures like this get featured on an article about launching rockets?

Hurray!

@Mondoz: Nah.. it just reminded me of the zoo.. I went there earlier this year and saw these lil beasties and was all like awww that's awesome.. then the workers there explained a few disturbing things about the state of forestry there.. 1 example is the fact that their deforestation is accelerating faster than any other tropical place in the world. It's definitely important for people to pay more attention to this and hopefully the satellite images will help bring to lite this and the many other issues their forests are facing every day and help to preserve these and other cute animals, yes?

is that a better comment?

@DeusExMach has jumped the snark: Welcome back! But damn, the claws already? No RnR? Be nice to Dancekat who actually has nice posts.. it's Mondoz who's the Negative Nancy.. this is all off topic now! Clearly I set the tone to be about the wonders of satellite based imagery of awesome cute animals.. :)

Very impressive, I love the camera mount on the side. And it didn't seem like they were worried about wind and rain either.
