Same! Besides everything else, the way the inside of the engine bay was glowing after re-entry heating was incredible. I guess I should have expected it, but the dark nozzles really set it off.

Confusing constituency due to boundary changes, largely comprising 50% of two previous constituencies, with the incumbents not standing here.
Need to watch local polls and tactical voting guides carefully. Could drift further.
