Missed it! I was awake at 04:30 but fell asleep again. Got up when it had docked.

Interesting choice of music, but good video nonetheless

Good video, love the simplicity. Ropes for everything.

When they going to launch it?

PermaBanned · 19 Jul 2012 at 14:57

Don't think they have a set date yet, but the launch window is already open. Depends largely on the weather. Haven't had many updates from Kristian recently, think they've been busy getting things together.

I did not know this. It feels like it was only yesterday they launched it.
