New Satellite

Dish Network launched their 10th satellite yesterday. If you're into rockets, go to Sea Launch.com and check out the pictures. They were supposed to go on the 8th, but had problems on the platform. My wife was a finalist to go watch in person, didn't make it, but got a really nice 3" silver commemorative medalion.

Yeah, it was a bummer. She's a tech service rep and they had this company-wide performance based contest thingy. It came down to a blind draw among 6 people from tech. All expenses paid trip for 2 to the equator. Danger aside, it would have been a neat experience.
