Note the motion lines around the main body of the spacecraft, showing that it is also shaking to a much lesser extent. 181.214.218.76 15:26, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

That is just Newton's Third Law, which is very often taken into account in space obviously. Thehydraclone (talk) 16:04, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
I prefer to think it's using thrusters either side of the main body to slightly oscillate that back and forth, which then translates into the larger movement of the capsule through the joint. 82.13.184.33 08:17, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Wait, nothing about the 4th of July today? That's odd. 2601:647:8500:1E09:55BB:EEBB:23EA:178A 23:04, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

this rocket was clearly sent up mistaken for a firework 2600:4040:52f1:300:8c1d:959a:d4c2:80be (talk) 14:07, 5 July 2025 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Not at all surprising - clicking through Category:Comics from July to find the relevant week each year, the only one I can see in twenty years directly referencing it is 1858: 4th of July; at a stretch, you could suggest that 285: Wikipedian Protester was also specifically timed. More notably, it's the 19th anniversary of 123: Centrifugal Force, which feels relevant. - IMSoP (talk) 10:00, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
