I hope everyone is having an awesome Halloween! Remember to have a boooooo-tastic time. Eat plenty of candy, and do let the boooo-bugs bite!
I’ve extended the Trick-Or-Treat deadline to tomorrow. You have one extra day to send a picture of your costumes and decorations! I didn’t realize that the 1st fell on a Saturday when I initially made the contest. Saturday is the busiest day of the week for me. I’m home for a total of two or three hours. I’ll announce the winner on Sunday…unless, of course, Major Pierson doesn’t get his three entries.

What is a Halloween contest without posting my own costume?
Virgin Galactic’s partner Scaled Composites conducted a powered test flight of SpaceShipTwo earlier today. During the test, the vehicle suffered a serious anomaly resulting in the loss of the vehicle. The WhiteKnightTwo carrier aircraft landed safely. Our first concern is the status of the pilots, which is unknown at this time. We will work closely with relevant authorities to determine the cause of this accident and provide updates as soon as we are able to do so.
I don’t have a blunt opinion (other than the fact that I hope that we continue to venture out into space despite the recent incidents), so I’ll skip ahead to the video of the week.
