i would hope so, it also looks like the apollo era rockets (although they had five not six thrusters), so that could fit.

Very much so. Space race / money / gun ownership, all-American values.

That whole "Tracklist Reveal" page wasn't even posted until after both Day 1 images were revealed. So I wouldn't go on that alone to determine whether we're done for Day 2.

But here's my guess, considering that they initially stated it was a "nearly two-week reveal"
Mon - One 4-step image reveal via twitter/pj.com + One instagram/vine reveal
Tue - One 4-step image reveal via twitter/pj.com
Wed - One 4-step image reveal via twitter/pj.com + One instagram/vine reveal
Thur - One 4-step image reveal via twitter/pj.com
Fri - One 4-step image reveal via twitter/pj.com + One instagram/vine reveal
Mon - One 4-step image reveal via twitter/pj.com
Tue - One 4-step image reveal via twitter/pj.com + One instagram/vine reveal
Wed - One 4-step image reveal via twitter/pj.com

That would be "nearly two weeks" and would add up to 12

Wait, I was told by B earlier (I think it was B) that he'd said that, but it was just a guess... I think? The official word from PJ itself is just something like "tune in this week for the reveal". So I don't know.

:shock: It's a real possibility.

I still think that all this electricity pylon / radar / big eye, big eye watching me stuff on the cover might be to do with all of the spying shit he wants so much.

The moon belongs to America, and anxiously awaits the
arrival of our astro-men. Will you be among them?

If it weren't for IlluminEddie I would've never realized how badly I want E.H. Ruddock to be president. So some good did come out of that whole ordeal.

WHERE DO YOU STAND ON SENDING SHUTTLES TO THE MOON, CANDIDATE RUDDO?
