Blue Origin's suborbital New Shephard launcher suffered a failure this morning. This was an un-crewed mission. The abort system worked as expected and the capsule landed a few minutes later.

I think this movie by the Coen Brothers is a bit under-appreciated, maybe because they did so many great movies afterwards. A nice little comedy starring Paul Newman, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tim Robbins. Not an Oscar movie, won't change your life, but worth watching.

NASA's DART mission, launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 last year, will hit its target at 7:14 p.m. EDT on Monday, Sept. 26. This test will show a spacecraft can autonomously navigate to a target asteroid and intentionally collide with it to change the asteroid’s motion in a way that can be measured using ground-based telescopes. DART will provide important data to help better prepare for an asteroid that might pose an impact hazard to Earth, should one ever be discovered. https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-invites-media-to-witness-world-s-first-planetary-defense-test

Update on The Junction in Coldharbour Lane. Apparently the landlord made them an "offer" but it looks more like something designed to be unacceptable: - 70% rent increase - closing at 11pm - waiving any objections for future planning applications https://www.mylondon.news/whats-on/whats-on-news/landlord-says-south-london-music-24823978 There is also a petition in support of The Junction here https://www.change.org/p/save-the-junction-music-pub
