First I'd like to say the title doesn't really reflect the theory, I just couldn't find a better one :/
I know the official explanation of what we're doing in Watchpoint: Gibraltar is that we're launching a satellite in space, BUT this theory can work with the "official explanation" and also it answers a few other questions about the lore.
So, here's the theory :
The rocket that takes off in Gibraltar when the attackers win the map, it serves to take a satellite to space and Winston and Tracer (and more overwatch members ?) to the Horizon Lunar Colony (or Interstellar station, honestly don't know if those are the same, but I just guessed so, correct me if I'm wrong) as said on Lijang's newsfeed
It explains why the defenders would want to stop the Rocket from taking off, besides stopping a satellite from going to space, satellite which we don't know the purpose of.
It would also explain why Gibraltar is one of the "important spots" you can see with the Telescope from the colony, as It's the place where you'd have to land if you were to come back on earth (i guess), or just the place where the rockets come from.
As we don't know the purpose of the satellite, we could guess it's to re-establish connection between earth and Horizon Lunar Colony, which leaded Luncheng interstellar to discover and reveal new informations about it.
If you do not agree with that theory, please don't downvote it, and explain why here, otherwise you're just censoring it.
Thanks for reading !

We see it lifting off at the end of the theatrical teaser as well.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
They’re on standbi
All around me all I see is TNO references, the clock in my wall, the globe with Africa on it, the white like the aryans, the pills on my desk, my farts under my blanket like a gas chamber.
I go school, in every room there’s a clock, there’s fucking clocks everywhere. I go into the geography classroom and there’s 3 fucking maps on the walls and all of them have Germany on them. In science class I learn about evaporation when I realize it’s the explanation of why the Mediterranean Sea in TNO is small. I go to the toilet and think of poopenfarten. I whip out my dick out to pee and I think of hitler x big chungus fanfic I saw on discord. I go to history class to learn about the 100 years war, when I hear the word burgundy, fucking burgundy.
I go home and take off my clothes to put in the washing machine and I see my nipples, I immediately think of Dai Nippon Teikoku. I stub my toe and say “damnit” and instantly think of the Gibraltar dam.
I grab my phone only being able to think about TNO stock market monkey. I open Reddit and see a tankie denying the uyghur genocide, my brain can only think about the genocide in Taboritsky’s Russia. I look back again and see the word “tankie”, I can feel that something isn’t right when I realize it’s a Gorky reference. I open YouTube only to see a video about NASA sending a rocket into space, everything about it wreaks Zdanov.
Pilot on me!!
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭
