SpaceX had a delightful surprise on Wednesday.
The private spaceflight company launched its Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral with Luxembourg’s first military satellite, GovSat-1, in tow.
The satellite, to be used for secure communications over sea and humanitarian operations, was successfully deployed 32 minutes into its flight.

Facebook just can’t help itself.
Following news Wednesday morning that an Amtrak train full of Congressional Republicans crashed into a truck, the social media site was soon promoting conspiracy theories and lies purporting to explain the sinister forces behind the tragedy that left one person dead.
For a company that has publicly and repeatedly been accused of enabling the spread of so-called “fake news,” this is just yet another major misstep in a long line of missteps.
