Is this about an actual window being open? --[[Special:Contributions/172.70.250.189|172.70.250.189]] 06:11, 7 March 2023 (UTC) | Is this about an actual window being open? --[[Special:Contributions/172.70.250.189|172.70.250.189]] 06:11, 7 March 2023 (UTC) | ||
yes, that seems to be the joke. it's actually a pretty good one. | yes, that seems to be the joke. it's actually a pretty good one. | ||

+ | It's definitely quite abstract; I think it's talking about an actual window of the building that the rocket is supposedly "inside" [[Special:Contributions/172.71.30.142|172.71.30.142]] 06:14, 7 March 2023 (UTC) | ||
I've added a bit more to the explanation, but I wasn't sure what, if anything, could be said about the 'sunlight' comment... Is it just a joke about the stereotypical "computer nerd/engineer" never stepping foot in the sun, or am I missing something there? Also, could someone please add the characters' names in to the explanation where necessary? I can't remember them well enough to be confident in who's who [[Special:Contributions/108.162.245.186|108.162.245.186]] 06:34, 7 March 2023 (UTC) | I've added a bit more to the explanation, but I wasn't sure what, if anything, could be said about the 'sunlight' comment...

:I get the impression that this launch-building is (like most launch sites) far more equatorial than my 50-odd degrees of latitude, it's probably <s>a fansite</s> equipped with HVAC and though it might still be nice enough to go outside with your packed lunch (bugs excepted) for a while, actually having to work on an external rocket and its launch-pad would not be a matter of moderation and choice to nip back in again because it is too bright (and possibly hot, even in the shade) to be comfortable. Not when the "launch room" had been set up with a nice, predictable temperature and illumination level. | :I get the impression that this launch-building is (like most launch sites) far more equatorial than my 50-odd degrees of latitude, it's probably <s>a fansite</s> equipped with HVAC and though it might still be nice enough to go outside with your packed lunch (bugs excepted) for a while, actually having to work on an external rocket and its launch-pad would not be a matter of moderation and choice to nip back in again because it is too bright (and possibly hot, even in the shade) to be comfortable.

:But I don't want to speak for those actually habituated to the great outdoors. ("There's no bad weather, only bad clothing," etc.) Which even some nerds are, when not working on necessarily indoors tasks...
