Galileo Launch #13/14 NOW

The European version of GPS is being established, and there'll be another launch shortly

Here's the livestream of the launch, and people with funny European (especially ze German) accents explaining what it's about

Good timing Smile I'm on it.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

My fucking livestream had to be F5ed every 10 seconds. I blame the ISP. But I got to see the launch at least.
