However with RocketLab has been increasing the scale of production with it primary launch carrier rocket the Electron Rocket in which recently it been manufacturing it Rutherford engines in its Huntington Beach California operations in which that facilities manufactures the 3D printed Rutherford Engines in a scale of one hundred per year to mean launch customer demands in which Rocket Lab yet to achieve an every seventy two hour launching cycle for the micro Satellite market..

On a in between almost midnight 31st January – Very weathering clouded extremely clouded out Auckland- New Zealand in bracing for an impending Cyclone Fehi that’s bound arrived in the later hours till midnight on the 31st January to 1st February 2018 in which the event of the Auckland Lunar Eclipse event of the Luna Rosa ended unobserved till four ending in the morning…  From the anticipated Supermoon that’s risen over the hills of One Tree looking towards north eastern direction that slight over right of the summit of one tree hill, in which a mass of crowds have gathered  at the back of Auckland Observatory- Stardome for the courtyard telescopes with a great team of volunteers whom operate them..  as the mass of crowds gather with their photographing camera equipment with their picnic blankets keeping warm throughout the night also the unexpected early hours morning …..

As the Supermoon is cased by the Earth Shadow Umbra.. slowly seen in the Cyclone Fehi Auckland skies..
During the Cyclone Fehi Auckland Night it was a long wait, as looking for breaks in between the cyclone clouds to photograph..
The Supermoon in behind the amass of nomadically clouds as it rises behind the embankments of One Tree Hill, in Auckland New Zealand..
As you can see the Cyclone Fehi’s clouds moves closer to hide, gate crash the Supermoon red blue Lunar Eclipse..
As Cyclone Fehi Auckland moves closer towards past midnight then early morning the umbra moves closer as hides the Luna Rosa..

As the Supermoon rises from behind the hill embankments of One Tree Hill, in which the moon is closes towards the Planet earth in its elliptical orbit calling it Apogee, as the apogee moon rise from the horizon the image of the moon is magnified due to the heavy thick Atmospheric layering at the horizon in which increase the image of the moon, than from as it moves towards a higher angle of in the night sky in which it reduced magnification due to the thin atmosphere layer ….. As on the on the other side of hemisphere in Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Space Museum staging various events around Hong Kong one of many in nearby in Tsim Sha Tsui,  Kowloon Park, also Sha Tin also in Central on Hong Kong Island, with very great clear viewing  weather conditions than of Auckland..

the crowds awaits in the Cyclone Fehi Auckland cloudy night skies a the courtyard telescopes at the Auckland Observatory-Stardome

During that onwards towards midnight it the building up of cyclone Fehi clouds started to concentratingly to nomadically increase only to have slightly teasing selectively of viewing the moon as it transition from the earth shadows umbra starting the cast on the Luna Shadow slowly, as it was gate crashing the moments of looking transiting moon,  towards the Luna Rosa.. In which as it gathered upwards to that moment it wasn’t possible to watched as the rain decide to gate crash the event.. Nor to photograph even further… like packing your troubles in that  first  Yosemite night time campfire scene from Star Trek V- The Final Frontier where Captain Kirk, Doctor McCoy’s, Captain Spock camping trip was interrupted ….

Sometimes Santa Claus does have a hard time in catching up with the times towards the new found Diction and Vocabularies that every next each generation of children speak as New Zealand Children do put a twist in speaking various words in which is not easy for Santa whom is constant busy all the time in which granting wishes for all the children around the world..

In this case picking all the wishes from all the New Zealand Kiwi children, is difficult to understand as the instructions to the workshop misinterpreted the requested instructions so what Santa has to do to get clarification of the Kiwi Accent with different Vowels… Is to ascertain help from Air New Zealand’s three wise Flight Attendants… to help with the communications of interpretation …. Like interpreting PuggyBank to Piggy Bank, Biscuits Ball to Basket Ball..

One of the iconic serious job roles as passengers, iconically traditionally with the airliners culture is the job role of the lolly runner that was set in tradition as flight attendants delivery the candies towards your fellow travelling passengers as they refresh also re-energized of one way of having sweets or various confectionery….before they set course on their next adventures..   As for Air New Zealand one of the roles is the #LollyRunner, in which the flight attendants pick a special passenger whom would like help to share that unique privilege and experiences of sharing that Air New Zealand wrapped candies with that New Zealand flavors wrapped in them..    In this case some may take up the role seriously as they taken the task of preparing themselves in a boot camp on knowing their lollies like the university challenge, training like the New Zealand sliver ferns, or the rugby team the All Blacks with those efficient moves… Thinking do you really have what it takes to be an honorary flight attendant to become the lolly Runner…
