In Orbit
Augh, this one is a few hours late, sorry. Who knew that a strip three times the regular size would take three times longer to draw? Well, not this guy.

Eheh… Tough Engineering Life…
So he sets up a giant heart across the earth, and then realizes he forgot to fuel up the rocket?
Yup, this one was hard to get and I am not sure if I am getting it right. He spent a lotta time planning the heart thing and then he realized he forgot to make proper calculations for fuel and oxygen?
May be the only one that’s a bit tooo dark for me….
Reference to this?

*whispers* hurmmm, I don’t get it.
Beautiful, tho. :P
She’s gonna be fine, though! There’s no Somebody Dies tag!
I think the heart is supposed to be a lense flare. Don’t ask me how he made it heart-shaped or why she can see it even though this is not a photo.
Erm, Geust’s got the right idea. The ultimate futility of such a grandiose effort was pretty amusing to me.
Aw.
I assume she returns safely: there’s no “someone dies” tag.
So why does he need a calculator to realize that he forgot to fuel up the rocket?
Hm, I didn’t intend for this one to be this confusing, but ohwell.
(He has miscalculated the required fuel (and oxygen) for her return trip.)
Also, apologies to Dexter – your comment got caught by the spam filter, but is now approved! edit: And yes, you got it exactly right.
Kristian – excellent work, i read lots of webcomics and really seldom bother to comment but this is truly something and just wanted to say it :) btw apart from “someome dies” tag i’d add “page format”
Daniel – he calculates if what fuel’s left in the rocket will be enough to come back. I’d imagine this would be a more probable scenario if it showed say 35% fuel left, but Krystian likes it crystal (see the pun?) clear that someone dies.lol
Ok, makes sense :)
Great comic btw, I check it regularly since I got to knew it via SMBC :)
And this is why I went into Mech instead of Aero
