Bummer: SpaceX managed to successfully put a satellite in orbit yesterday. But when the first stage landed on their barge, one of the stabilizer arms broke, causing it to fall over and explode.
“The rocket stage was left in pieces on the deck of the drone ship landing pad, and Musk quipped via Twitter that ‘at least the pieces were bigger’ this time.”
Still…they got it right on the mark on the barge; pretty amazing despite the stabilizer failure.
I saw that SpaceX clip last night. I think they did a pretty darned good job! Failure of the landing arm is something they can work on and is a lot simpler than trying to solve the problem of a soft landing on a pitching deck.
Mrs. Paddy, Teh Older, and I tried a new restaurant last night -- a tapas bar. It was a small, unpretentious place and the food was amazing! We ordered five plates to share, enjoyed each and every one, and saw several more we want to try. That doesn’t even include entree possibilities. We’ll definitely be going back.
Monday…gaaaaaaaaaaah!
Coffee?
Here’s a photo from last night’s stealth Democratic debate:
So…a Bernie Sanders supporter, a Bernie Sanders supporter and a Bernie Sanders supporter walk into a bar and say, “Hey…drinks are on you!”
*Ba dum bum*
Heh. Parody NorK news agency account live-tweeted last night’s debate:
Democratic debate descends into chaos.
And because they’re equal opportunity offenders, here’s what they had to say about the last GOP debate:
A Democratic People’s Republican Debate.

Good morning, Gerbil Nation!

I took the day off to watch my son surf some big waves.
Cool!
Are you feeling any better, Cali?
Heard that Glenn Frey passed away. 67 -- much too young.
I’m home all by myself. Sniff.
Safe travels to Mrs. Sven.
