Kevin was making timestamped edits to the Rocketfail doc this morning, so it's clear he's too smart to need a lawyer.

There's another goodie. The Hugo trademark that was too sacred to be joked about by fic writers?
" the acknowledged grant of “Hugo Award Theatre” as the permanent name of a part of the Chengdu Science Fiction Museum." (Jay Blanc's doc, here)

So, anyway, when I was coming up with the title "Rocketfail, Worldcrash", in my mind that was the distinction between Hugo Award fuckups, and WSFS fuckups. Because so many of the same people are involved, and it is inherently intermingled, Rocketfail and Worldcrash's venn diagram is almost a circle.

The Rocketfail Worldcrash Timeline has just been updated with a response to it I received from Kevin Standlee who appears to have wanted to add a statement justifying how Worldcon Intellectual Property was established. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Per Jay Blanc’s timeline, Ben Yalow of the WIP handled the requests to use the trademarks because he was also the co-chair of the con. I guess there are fewer middlemen when you’re giving yourself permission: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Starship Failure: When your rocket makes it to space but forgets how to come back down gracefully. 🚀
SpaceX's Starship had a case of the spins during reentry! 💫
At least the debris landed in the ocean, not someone's backyard!

I had missed this:
"...the entire ownership, of all of WSFS Trademarks are transferred to WIP. One of their first acts is to allow the Chengdu Science Fiction Museum to permanently name part of the building the “Hugo Award Theatre”.

So, a rocket booster exploded near someone's house. Glad they're ok, but is this the future of space exploration? Dodging debris? Asking for a friend…who’s currently wearing a hard hat. #SpaceDebris #RocketFail #SpaceExploration
