Looks like NASA deliberately blew up the Antares rocket due to some kind of launch irregularity they deemed dangerous. -- (link) - mara Oct 30, 15:15 11
- Same thing happened when I was watching one go up on my high school spring break. Spy sat, detonated 30 seconds into launch - Max Oct 30, 15:58
- someone was telling me the engines were from a 1960's Russian rocket. -- nm - Remlik Oct 30, 15:43 2
  - That's not far off, although probably warehoused rather than actually taken out of a rocket. -- (link) - mara Oct 30, 15:48
  - yes, that was elon musk. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 30, 15:45
- That's usually how it's done. Sometimes I think there's even code to do it without asking a human. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 30, 15:27 5
  - Right, I just didn't realize that this one was deliberate. -- nm - mara Oct 30, 15:32 4
    - Oh. Neither did I, really. It does potentially remove engine malfunction as the likely culprit, though. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 30, 15:37 3
      - I think it might heighten that possibility, that it was engine malfunction. -- nm - Loyola Oct 30, 15:47
      - Although the initial deviation may have been caused by an engine malfunction. -- nm - MonsterMom Oct 30, 15:46 1

yet another woman comes forward about relations with Ghomeshi - she is, and was at the time, a lawyer. -- (link) - Paranormal Andivity Oct 30, 14:43 23
- A quick google reveals ... - Beryllium Oct 30, 14:52 22
  - interesting. but i guess in each case, where is the evidence? -- nm - Paranormal Andivity Oct 30, 15:02 21
    - What evidence would there be? This is why violence against sexual partners is so hard to prove. - Focused, Non-Terminal Repeating Phantasm Oct 30, 15:15 16
      - This is why the BDSM Community is very very clear about their rules. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 30, 15:37 1
        
        errr...aside from it being right. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 30, 16:51
      - well, i don't think 9 women opening themselves up to public scorn is something that should be dismissed. -- nm - Paranormal Andivity Oct 30, 15:26 13
        
        I'm definitely not dismissing them. If he is guilty, I hope they have the evidence needed to put him where he belongs. - Focused, Non-Terminal Repeating Phantasm Oct 30, 15:32 12
        
        not purely assuming. the odds of that many women, including professionals who likely have more to lose than gain, putting themselves out there, and - b. Oct 30, 15:37 11
        
        I'm swayed by that, but that only convicts him in the court of public opinion. -- nm - Focused, Non-Terminal Repeating Phantasm Oct 30, 15:46 8
        
        but that's really what's the most important here, in changing the culture around violence against women - znufrii Oct 30, 16:54
        
        I don't think anyone's talking about legal charges anyway, are they? He's bringing a lawsuit about his termination and CBC is investigating. -- nm - mara Oct 30, 15:50 6
        
        Andie mentioned something above. even if charges aren't able to be brought, getting everything out there about him and him having consequences - b. Oct 30, 15:55 1
        
        Yeah, I think even just that women are feeling able to talk about it and tell their stories publicly is good. -- nm - mara Oct 30, 15:56
        
        The CBC always get their man... - Beryllium Oct 30, 15:55 3
        
        I thought I was ahead of things by actually having heard of the guy before this week - that one is past me, though! -- nm - b. Oct 30, 15:58 2
        
        Ah, I was riffing on the RCMP saying - "they always get their man" - and another CBC personality, whom you might remember from shooting coverage last - Beryllium Oct 30, 15:59 1
        
        :) - -- nm - b. Oct 30, 16:08
        
        Yup. Additionally, some of the personal stories being told are not actually about consensual BDSM that turned into something else. -- nm - mara Oct 30, 15:41 1
        
        thanks. I haven't read anything new in the past day or two, so I hadn't seen that.-- nm - b. Oct 30, 15:53
    - yep. it really is a tricky thing - even if there are photos of bruising, he's saying consensual, they're saying no. - b. Oct 30, 15:11
    - all he said she said, but when theshe's hit double digits it kinda tells a story -- nm - Beaker Oct 30, 15:08 2
