On their fifth attempt, SpaceX successfully launched it’s SES-9 Communications satellite aboard a Falcon-9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center this evening. We were among those gathered on the edge of the Indian River due west of the launch site to watch. It was amazing to see. Now we await news as to whether the first stage landed on the unmanned barge. Apparently video cut out just before landing. There’s an unconfirmed rumour that it did indeed land. Guess we have to thank NC DMV for keeping us here long enough!
Bletchley Park
It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.
