    EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 $357 + Free Shipping

    SpaceX Explains Cause Of Rocket Explosion

    From the reddit.com/r/spacex threads, it seems that whereas the last failure occurred because a strut failed during the launch, this time a helium tank itself (aluminum+carbon fiber construction) lost containment while being filled and blew up. More information is needed to know exactly how...

    Facebook Bots Are a Tough Sell After Microsoft Tay’s Racist Tirade
