Meanwhile, of course, there was China with its Shenzhou capsule and ..  the very reliable Russian Soyuz which has been used for the past nine years to bring crew from and towards the Internation Space Station, that after the Space Shuttle was phased out. Today it's SpaceX's maiden voyage in terms of their first crewed flight with its Crew Dragon capsule, a commercial enterprise from founder Elon Musk (Tesla). I decided to embed the flight takeoff, hopefully, it'll go well without any issues and delays due to weather.

Lamptron is trying to find its new niche. They’re a company known mainly for their fan controllers –  something that’s seldom used anymore, because most motherboards have fan headers now, and there are hardly any cases with 5.25” drive bays. This time, we’re checking out their LCD screen for monitoring PC h/w data, the HM101. It’s this manufacturer’s subsequent attempt at market innovation, following in the footsteps of the Lamptron SM436 PCI Fan and LED controller.
