Can't verify anything right now, but there are reports that the Chinese president may be under house arrest.
Should be interesting if true.

Well, I hope the Chinese people replace him with democracy.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

It seems all the reports were incorrect.
Sadly.

And then it’ll get hit by some random chunk of space garbage which will put it on a direct collision orbit for Mother Earth.

It is rather exciting. You can watch a live feed from the spacecraft as it rams into the asteroid. 20 more minutes to go
