  It's a vacation Tara, he is fine and will be coming back; apparently it is seasonal tradition that his family goes to an island that is remote and has no internet. Sorry if that worried you😅

  You are welcome! Me neither—until I heard it in that Futurama movie. I really liked that part; later on, it changes and slows down, but the drums are really cool.

  I like them all, but the first one a bit more because it's chrome. As soon as I read "rocketship," this music started playing in my head. https://youtu.be/d0EgzSE-SW4?si=3asRFX7FMkqgcSRl
