Science Bitches!  

1. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket delivered SES-10, a commercial communications satellite for SES, to a Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO).
   The SES-10 mission marked a historic milestone on the road to full and rapid reusability as the world’s first reflight of an orbital class rocket. Falcon 9’s first stage for the SES-10 mission previously supported the successful CRS-8 mission in April 2016.

ORly Radio Show 91 - #yallqaeda

Welcome to ORly Radio Show 91 for Friday January 8th, 2016 - where we dismantle the current events for your edutainment through mostly rational conversations that make you go ‘Oh Really’! I’m your host Andy Cowen with Michael Robinson and David O’Connor.

Into the wayback machine: Back in March on Show 49, with A Play On Nerds, we discussed the weird interplay with letters to Iran and how the GOP was playing a dangerous game of chicken with the State Department. Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton penned an open letter to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. http://www.vox.com/2015/3/10/8182063/tom-cottons-controversial-letter-to-iran-explained  This week that information resurfaced with a little more analysis that included a breakdown of the roughly million dollars of campaign contributions he received during the week of the kerfuffle. We’re not saying he’s been bought by the interests of a foreign power (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu), we’re just saying that freedom of speech in the form of campaign contributions is out of hand…

The Good:

1. http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/ted-cruz-produces-mothers-birth-certificate-after-both-parents-found-on-canadian-voter-list/

2. The President’s Gun Control Executive Action. And his tearful address. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-35236630  (Video)

The executive actions include:

• Background checks for all gun sellers, overturning current exemptions to some online and gun show sellers

• States providing information on people disqualified from buying guns due to mental illness or domestic violence

• Increased workforce for the FBI to process background checks, hiring more than 230 new examiners

• Congress being asked to invest $500m (£339m) to improve access to mental healthcare in the US

• The departments of defense, justice and homeland security exploring "smart gun technology" to improve gun safety

1. The GOP Freaks out, and of course gun sales skyrocket because people don’t know what words mean.  http://www.mediaite.com/tv/i-would-check-that-podium-for-a-raw-onion-tantaros-criticizes-obamas-tearful-address/
