	I may have heard this on CR4, I do not remember. I may just be repeating an inaccurate but amusing anecdote. Elon Musk missed the landing and at first thought it was another failure. His timing to walk outside to view the landing was at fault. The moment he left the building was when the sonic boom of the returning rocket crossed the building. Thinking a failure happened he didn't even look in the direction of the landing pad, reentered the building and started to walk slowly down the hallway back to the control room while thinking what to say now. Then he heard a chorus of elation down the hallway and rushed to see what happened. __________________ "Don't disturb my circles." translation of Archimedes last words

	Could this be the takeoff and landing of the recent rocket that took off in the past few weeks.... where the camera lens stayed open the whole time.... OR Could this be a light lazer sabre fight using ultra strong batteries??? __________________ Remember to be nice to your children, they may one day pick your place of retirement....

	Missiles taking off. Looks similar to time elapse of a Patriot Missle battery. __________________ Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty, pristine body but rather to come sliding in sideways, all used up and exclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!"

	I am reminded of my favourite movie .... WAG THE DOG. How do we know that the explanation given is just a 'smoke screen', and we, the CR4 network are closer to the 'truth'. So where is Batman when you need him? And the second beam ... is a call for Robin of course. Fredski, you are a worry! Let's all have a great 2016. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNo0BicRM8k __________________ DY
