Second Hypersonic X43 Scramjet Ready for Testing
Dan writes "I am sure most of you remember how NASA was forced destroy their first hypersonic X43 seconds in it's maiden flight, which was a big setback for the american hypersonic scramjet program. Well NASA just finished one of the final tests and is preparing to launch it as early as February 21! I wish them the best."

Probably has something to do with lacking essential amino acids from eating meat. Being a vegan tends to reduce both IQ and memory retention.

Stampede brings tragedy (sic) to Hajj
A stampede at the Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia has killed 244 people, says the minister in charge of the event, Iyad Madani.
The disaster happened as pilgrims flocked to the Jamarat Bridge in Mina, near Mecca, to hurl stones at pillars representing the devil.
"There was more than 400 metres of people pushing in the same direction (which) resulted in the collapse of those next to the stoning area... and those behind. That led to panic," he said.
