Unillustrated yet Undaunted

I managed to be half-surprised by news SpaceX was launching another Falcon 9 rocket. The first thing I checked for was confirmation it had put the satellite on top of it into orbit: that was what really counted, after all. Not that long after that, though, I saw news the first stage had steered back down to another huge barge out at sea, only to explode in the process. That this seemed to stem from the trivial matter of a landing leg not locking into place just seemed to keep convincing me I could leave it be and go ahead with a different plan for making a post to my journal this week, one springing from the post just previous and taking the bold, almost "Tumblr-esque" step of being built around pictures.

To manage that with this journal, though, means uploading pictures to a Photobucket account, and when I tried that I kept getting error messages. This is a much smaller problem than a rocket stage you were hoping to get back in one piece exploding, but somehow it prompted some sympathy for that bigger problem.
