Because you don't want to wake the dragon.

Gah, that's way too late. Why can't they do this on Eastern time like everything else important?

What time is that in American?

This is not a charade.

Everything about this mission is being done during my sleep period. They really need to consult me before doing this shiat.

"Dragon"? Seriously??

That has no character anymore. It's been used for just about every product under the sun and every project, lame or otherwise. It's a popular douchebag tattoo, I'll give you that. Now it just means "A thing that's somehow awesome because we say it is". Like I say, no specific character other than specifies lack of creativity. I know it's a name, but I expected more.

Oznog: "Dragon"? Seriously??

It flys into farking space on a pillar of fire. If anything it restores the awesomeness of naming something dragon.

Bad troll. No cookie.

Say it in this guy's voice... it sounds good.

It's called Dragon because it unfolds solar panels like wings. That's as good an excuse as any, I suppose.

1 hour and 15 minutes until a small shiny object passes by.

yawn

Don can see Dragon but mission control cannot?
ooook

If Europe, USA, Russia, Canada or Japan go to war with each other, who gets the space station?

HI-FYE: If Europe, USA, Russia, Canada or Japan go to war with each other, who gets the space station?

Cockroaches.

Now who DVRed it for me?

Whoever it lands on when we stop sending supplies to it and it crashes to earth.
