LMAO the repost police on ATS are as bad as they were on ogrish.

I'd not heard of it, and it's not like I have the capacity to know to search for something I don't know about.
Still, swings and roundabouts..

To speak in my own defense: It's not my habit to go around yelling "It's been posted before!"--and I generally hate it when others do. It's just that I remembered seeing that thing a couple of times before, whether it was on ATS or somewhere else. So I did an ATS search on--wait for it--"sphere brazil." Lucky guess.
Anyway, it was all in fun and never in judgment. Thanks for the reprieve from all those turgid and depressing threads on the front page....

For anyone wondering what it actually is, it's likely a 39-litre hydrazine bladder tank (based on its apparent size; there are also much larger hydrazine tanks). They're used on unmanned rockets for satellite launches, which would explain why they're falling down in such a specific geographic footprint.
