Today,Space X’s Falcon 9 made it’s first successful first stage landing on a barge at sea

Watch the video here

This is a big deal,the phrase is over used these days,but this really is a game changer.Being able to launch a spacecraft into orbit and have the heavy lift and very expensive first stage return for landing and reuse is a major step forward.If this reaches full development,it will have the effect of dramatically lowering the cost of putting things in space.

All of this happened,this moment in history and not a peep about it in the national media.

Notice the speed that the Dragon capsule is traveling at near the end of the video-27,112 KPH

I think this is a Gar Wood design. Can anybody identify the engine manufacturer?

‘John Key’s secret flag donor luncheon
Prime Minister John Key was the star guest at a private fundraising lunch for the Change the Flag lobby group in a last-ditch bid to raise cash from wealthy Chinese donors who supported a flag change.
….(Change the Flag chairman) Mr Holden confirmed the event to the Weekend Herald but would not say who the donors were or how much they gave. He said a little more than $100,000 was raised for the entire Change the Flag campaign – some from the Chinese donors, who wanted the Union Jack gone from the New Zealand ensign.
“We talked about the treaties the British signed with the Chinese, the Boxer Rebellion, all those sort of points of Chinese history. It’s interesting because that sort of thing still comes out. Obviously, the colonisation of Hong Kong.
….”We knew there was support in the Chinese community because of the Union Jack,” Mr Holden said….’
(bold mine)
Doing the bidding of his new colonial masters?

Is a NZ Stuff news headline.
I’d have thought the answer was simple, ladies.
All you have to do is create enough time in his day – and the best way to do that is for you to learn how to clean out the grease trap, replace tap washers, fix a broken window, change the oil in the car, climb up into the roof space to locate and fix that leak that only happens when it’s blowing southerly, fix the toilet cistern valve…..the list goes on. It’s endless.
Of course, it might take you a while to learn a few things but hey, women are better at multi-tasking, right? So you’ll be able to flip through some home maintenance manuals while having (ethically sourced) coffee with the girls during the next shopping trip.
There ya go – problem solved.
