This launch was/is going to be the first one without a boost back. Because of DSCOVR's mass and destination (Earth-Sun L1 point), there isn't enough fuel to make a boost back burn.…

SpaceX has said that they will announce the status of the first stage as soon as they know on the webcast. And if successful (and they have a good link to the barge), they'll also …

It's completed it's boost back burn, so it's on a trajectory towards the landing barge (positioned off shore a good distance). EDIT: All this is just from the radio transmissions b…

Stage 1 separation. Here we go. EDIT: "Stage 1 boost back shutdown" EDIT 2: "Loss of signal from Stage 1" (expected)

Hackintoshes are largely possible because it's possible to get almost the same components used in Macs on regular PCs. It might be a little more difficult to get your hands on the …

The China event was only "tomorrow" so far as Beijing is 15 hours ahead of California. It was just a live stream of the announcement IIRC.

I'd tend to agree with you. But the problem of teaching it still remains. While it'd be great for dedicated teachers at each school to create a flexible, Javascript-based curriculu…

With regards to your third point: Is there a modern (or better suited for introductory courses) language that has the kind of curriculums built around it that VB and Java do? Codec…
