Which part about "STATIC FIRE TODAY" did you miss?

• rflrob 15y ago
  For an enthusiast, it may not be clear exactly what "Static Fire" means. While Static means non-moving, it also means the hissing noise on mis-tuned analog connections, and it's not inconceivable that it has another overloaded meaning.

    > For an enthusiast I think you're misusing that word. A space flight and/or specifically SpaceX enthusiast would recognize the terminology instantly. Assuming you mean something like "amateur" or "layman", thinking anything without the word "launch" in it is in fact a launch still seems a remarkable leap of illogic.

      In my dialect, enthusiast == amateur and parent used it appropriately.

        I'm afraid your dialect is rather singular. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/enthusiast http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/enthusiast

          I'm not sure you checked the definition of amateur in that dictionary.

  My guess would be, the "static" part.
