I won’t be able to do a full write-up of this, as I’ll be out most of this evening, but this article does a great job at answering a lot of questions about today’s launch failure.

Terrorism has once again shown it is prepared deliberately to stop at nothing in creating human victims. An end must be put to this. As never before, it is vital to unite forces of the entire world community against terror.
I believe that the world will know the blessing of peace only when the love for power is overthrown by the power of love.
To all the people of France, may the force be with you during these tough vicious times.

But not just my body... my mind, my heart.
I hope the next thing I get addicted to is taking care of my self and loving my body
October is the time of year for the Orionids Meteor Shower! Pictured here, over two dozen meteors were caught in successively added exposures last October in Inner Mongolia. The featured image shows multiple meteor streaks that can all be connected to a single small region on the sky called the radiant, here visible just above and to the left of the belt of Orion. The Orionids meteors started as sand sized bits expelled from Comet Halley during one of its trips to the inner Solar System. Comet Halley is actually responsible for two known meteor showers, the other known as the Eta Aquarids and visible every May.
Next month, the Leonids Meteor Shower from Comet Tempel-Tuttle should also result in some bright meteor streaks.
