  Then you MUST watch a SpaceX launch. They have cameras everywhere, including on the booster as it comes back down and lands. Next one of those is set for Thursday at 9:35 am Eastern. Watch it here...

  Lightning rods. Not to be confused with "lightening " rods.

  I just read Russia is holding satellites I do not recall the number they were suppose to launch for the EU but now have demands

  OneWeb: UK rejects Russian demand to sell share in satellite firm
  Russia's space agency is refusing to launch OneWeb satellites part-owned by the UK government.
