It’s been what? 31 years? since the wow signal, the unexpected discrepancy caught by SETI on August 15th 1975. Who knows what caused it or how!

SpaceX Falcon 1 Rocket Fails to reach orbit
As I watched the countdown near the last few seconds, the only thing I could think of was if the whole thing exploded. Or fell. Or did nothing. That’s pretty much what it did! They had a discrepency in the first attempt to launch, and so it was delayed probably another 30 mins. Watching the launch live on their website, I was impressed they got the thing off the ground. And Judging by the cheers and yells of everyone in the company, so were they. Too bad it didn’t make it to where it was going… All I know is that NASA lost a solar sail, and that would have been pretty sweet if it had made it.
