This comic takes the concept of a "launch window" in a more literal direction, implying that they have an actual physical window that is only open at certain times, and through which the rocket presumably has to be launched. [[Cueball]], representing one of the three technicians we see working in a mission control center, suggests moving the rocket outside in order to avoid issues that arise from dealing with the window. This immediately gets pushback by the other technicians who, in stereotypical behavior of shut-ins, don't want to bother leaving their comfortable computers. [[Ponytail]] complains the outside 'is so sunny', which ironically would normally indicate good conditions that would permit a launch. [[Hairy]] also objects because it would cause them to have to deal with bugs, presumably not of the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raMmRKGkGD4 technical type which might commonly prevent a launch], but more of the living, biting kind. | This comic takes the concept of a "launch window" in a more literal direction, implying that they have an actual physical window that is only open at certain times, and through which the rocket presumably has to be launched.

| − | The title text | + | The title text is a play on the two meanings of ''scrub'': to rub with a (usually wet) sponge or brush to clean, or to cancel (here: the launch of the rocket). This continues the comic’s theme of taking aerospace terms literally. |
