The Dawn mission to the asteroids Ceres and Vesta has been delayed yet again. A launch in mid-June 2006 was cancelled when the program was told to stand down in November 2005 due to budget issues. The project was later resumed and rescheduled for launch aboard a Delta-II rocket. There was some damage to the vehicle during testing, but it was apparently not enough damage to delay the mission. The launch was scheduled for June 20th, then delayed to June 30th, July 7th, then the 8th, then the 9th, then the 15th, and now NASA has pushed it back to September.

Over the last several years, I have continuously been adding things to this blog: cartoons, puzzles, games, all sorts of stuff. I like being entertained, what can I say? Anyhow, as fun as all that stuff is, it makes this blog take too long to load. So, I finally took all of that stuff off of Robot Guy. Now, I know that quite a few people come here to play PacMan or Tetris or Sudoku, and I like those things too. So, I made up a new page that has just the comics and fun stuff. There's a button linking to the new Comics and Fun Stuff page in the sidebar.

I've been thinking about ways of posting more regularly on this blog. One idea that hit me a few days ago is to have a daily feature, a space video of the day. Each day I will feature a space video that I have found on YouTube or some other video sharing site on the web. I'll basically be kickstarting this thing off for several weeks, posting the first few dozen featured videos. Over the course of a few weeks, I expect that people will start sending links to videos they have found, and maybe start discussions about the featured videos in comments.

Today's space video of the day was posted last July on YouTube, a Discovery channel segment on Chinese rocket failures in the mid-1990's:
