The water current it rests on makes it constantly drift clockwise, mimicking an eye in a socket.

It does not visibly relate to the accompanying post about SpaceX's V3 payload, propellant levels, or SECO (Second Engine Cutoff), as there are no numbers, gauges, or telemetry data shown to indicate fuel quantities. The graphic seems decorative rather than informational, making it unclear how it connects to the discussion of venting propellant during orbit. > > "Curious about V3’s payload to orbit cause this was the amount of propellant in the tank left 5 seconds before SECO and this was the amount while the ship was just floating around so it does seem like they vented a lot out" ### Discussion #4 by @veuggz > **Author:** [@veuggz](https://x.com/veuggz) > **Metrics:** 4 likes · 0 retweets · 1 comments · 1.6K views > **Posted:** 2026-10-03T01:52:16+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/veuggz/status/2106200631841366456](https://x.com/veuggz/status/2106200631841366456) > > "The light bulb skips for 30 seconds and rests for 2 minutes." ### Discussion #5 by @middlefeng > **Author:** [@middlefeng](https://x.com/middlefeng) > **Metrics:** 2 likes · 0 retweets · 0 comments · 1.3K views > **Posted:** 2026-10-03T01:23:40+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/middlefeng/status/2106193435833364760](https://x.com/middlefeng/status/2106193435833364760) > > "NASA, in order to secure funding from the Department of Defense, deliberately enlarged the Space Shuttle's wings to give it the capability to choose airports for landing. As a result, the Department of Defense ignored it and didn't give the money.
