Dude you don't even have to wipe, everything just gets sucked out.

This is a self-sucking scenario and that's A-ok in my book.

CNN completely bungled the footage cutover, going from a 30 second countdown to showing the rocket up in the air :sad:

Now my 5 year old is asking one million questions about what happened to the ignition

Yeah, why couldn't this be a NASA vehicle like the shuttle (built by Lockheed Martin and Boeing) or Saturn (built by Boeing, NAA, and Douglas).
