wenhop?

Most often used as a single word question sentence in the context of an upcoming, anticipated launch of a flying machine, especially a rocket. The questioner is impatient and the launch cannot come soon enough.

wenhop? = When will this rocket or other flying machine actually fly?

Bob: Ingenuity is getting ready for another flight on Mars!
Alice: wenhop?

On a YouTube channel or other interactive Internet venue covering a rocket launch, hours, days or weeks before the event may/might/could take place.

In many cases the questioner is hyper-focused on the launch date, to the exclusion of all else:

- Various livestream chat comments (or non-livestream comments) about the launch Blah, blah, blah....
- wenhop?
- Various replies: - Thursday. - Who knows. - I dunno...
- Various livestream chat comments about the launch Blah, blah, blah....
- wenhop?
- Various replies: - Maybe next week. - Who knows. - I dunno......or no reply.
- wenhop?

- Various replies, other comments, or no replies, as above.
- wenhop?

- The question comes up repeatedly and repeatedly and repeatedly and repeatedly...until the launch/flight takes place.

- wenhop?
- Blah, blah, blah....

-wenhop?
- Blah, blah, blah....

-wenhop?
- Blah, blah, blah....
