Taking a family vacation for a little while. I expect that time in front of a computer will be quite limited during the period so, I have put together a few little “treats” in some posts and scheduled them to appear in my absence. I’ll try and sneak something else in whilst I am enjoying the sun and crowds. In the meantime enjoy what’s coming.

- SpaceX Falcon 9 Launches
The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket soared into space from Space Launch Complex-40 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, carrying the Dragon capsule to orbit at 3:44 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, May 22, 2012. The launch is the company's second demonstration test flight for NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services, or COTS, Program. During the flight, there will be a series of check-out procedures to test and prove Dragon's systems, including rendezvous and berthing with the International Space Station. If the capsule performs as planned, the cargo and experiments it is carrying will be transferred to the station. Image Credit: NASA/Alan Ault
