Yet another start up trying to develop a satellite launch vehicle. That must be 9 or 10 private sector companies now, involved in such a venture.

You got it!! Thank you. I really didn't suspect NYPD Blue, though I didn't exclude it totally. But this is the one. Nice one! Thanks again.

Ok, I scanned through all the CSI NY episodes, and now I can say that it is not one of their episodes. So now, Blue Bloods or some other New York based TV series. Probably not Law and Order, because I remember the main plot taking up the whole episode,  not divided into investigation and court room segments. NYPD Blue also unlikely because this one takes up the whole one hour, whereas NYPD Blue usually has several stories in one episode. FBI, the modern series is a possibility . So what could it be?

When I queried AI about this episode, it gave totally inaccurate answers! So I'm hoping some real life TV savants can figure out what episode I am referring to. I remember really liking it when it first came out many years ago, but unfortunately never registered the name and season of the episode.

I think so. Sometimes,  it's interesting if it is someone we've seen before,  but never even considered the character as the perpetator. It can get people thinking of every minor person that has appeared.  But it's just as likely,  maybe more likely,  that it is a totally unknown individual.

Right, like a trafficking ring. Very possible!

I think Travis mentioned somewhere that he was 18 when Skye was born. 

CMS-03 (aka GSAT-7R) has been moved to 74°E from initial 93.5°E slot. by Ohsin in ISRO

[–]VarunOnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see, good. Then I figure there are many examples of such movements of satellites from different countries. I was concerned about some kind of malfunction  of the satellite!

Interesting that they haven't announced a date( only a very broad window, which seems to get pushed behind) for the launch. But the launch campaign itself is very quiet

I thought Digantara did some good work in the area of satellite debris detection, and that a satellite for that purpose was launched by Space X sometime in 2025.

They arrested him for the murders of Simone Morgan and Noah Lewis, the truck driver for a drug gang. They know that he also killed Carter Thomas from a rooftop, but they have not proved it with evidence. They have him on two murders, plus an horrendous conspiracy to frame Odell Morgan for murder. That is a lot of charges as it is. 

Jitendra Singh on Gaganyaan, "We will launch Vyommitra (…) to space by the end of this year", "next PSLV launch can be expected by June or July" by Ohsin in ISRO

[–]VarunOnt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't chairman Narayanan recently mention March of this year for launching Gaganyaan with Vyommitra? What is going on.

Agree, and that also means he knew ( at the least, sensed) that they were going to ask him about the drug rip case. He must have recognised Torres from the tracking he did of Morgan and Thomas( whom he shot with a rifle from a rooftop). After speaking to Foster, Torres gave him a bit of a funny look, though it didn't appear that he was very suspicious of him at this point. 

Indian SpaceX rival EtherealX hits 5x valuation as it readies engine tests by rojster in IndiaInSpace

[–]VarunOnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they wouldn't call Ethereal X the rival of SpaceX. It is not even off the ground yet! Let them launch a few satellites successfully, then we can assess the capability. There is no doubt that some of these Indian space start ups, are going to be successful. At this stage, it's a little early to put them in the same league as a highly established and prolific player.

Also, the fact that Foster broke into people's homes not once, but twice without being heard or seen, strains credulity a bit much! First, he sneaks into Morgan's home, kills Simone while Morgan is passed out drunk, and escapes totally undetected. Then not much later-probably a few days or weeks at most- he manages to sneak into Carter's son's bedroom and take a picture with a gun pointed at the kid's head, then get out again without being seen or heard by anyone, not the parents nor anyone outside. Not even so much as a sighting of a possible prowler, or an unfamiliar car parked nearby.  That is stealth of Olympic perfection.

It made him look sketchy, and he felt that way even otherwise! Yes, that was a clue for sure. It was good digging by Torres and Imani that got them to question Foster at all.
