Description:
On May 3, 1986, NASA attempted to launch a new weather satellite called GOES-G for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, but the rocket malfunctioned in mid-air. <br/><br/>About a minute after it lifted off from Cape Canaveral, lightning struck the Delta rocket and created a short circuit. This caused the rocket's main engine to shut down prematurely. It started tumbling around in the sky with some of its strap-on boosters still firing. NASA sent the rocket a command to self-destruct, and it exploded above the Atlantic Ocean. They did this to minimize the dangers of having the entire rocket crash back down to Earth. This launch failure was especially disheartening for NASA, because it was the first launch since the Challenger disaster three months earlier. Investigators found that this Delta rocket had a lot of problems that were known before the launch, especially with the wiring. After the accident, launch companies across the country changed the way they wired their rockets' electronics.

_legend-of-soldier-ep-3-eng-sub.webp "The Legend of Xiaobing, one of the top three books on the Internet, served as the inspiration for the adaptation. For hundreds of years, several civilizations have been engaged in interstellar conflicts with one another. Relying on his wisdom, Tang Long—who loved the idea of being a marshal—thwarted the Silver Eagle Empire's plot to incite a bomb war with black holes. He met the federal central computer Xingling, endured harsh instruction from mechanical instructors, saved the gunboat team that was propelled by itself, and commanded a company of female soldiers to rejoin the battle. Though he was set free, he had no idea that a larger enemy plan was in store for him.<br/>")

She was not a great listener, but when the owner commanded her to get inside the pool, somehow, she obeyed it and jumped into the pool. Soon after, she got a Zoomies attack, hence, kept running around.")
