Col Steve Zodiac is suing Elon Musk and SpaceX for intellectual property theft of Fireball XL5's rocket design. Steve stated "Elon and SpaceX's Starship design is a rip off of our 1962 interplanetary Supermarionation design. Additionally, he stole our Neural Network design from my copilot Robert the Robot. And don't get me started on some of his other flying machine ideas, I had flying motorcycles before Elon was a glint in his mother's eye!" Col Steve added: "Just don't mess with our theme song!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxec0-bJw90

NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center says numerous people saw a very bright streak early Friday. A statement and video posted on Facebook says an analysis shows the meteor was first seen at an altitude of about 58 miles (93 kilometers) above rural Turkeytown, which is about 80 miles (129 kilometers) northeast of Birmingham. The office estimates a small asteroid about 6 feet (1.8 meters) in diameter then broke apart about 18 miles (29 kilometers) above the town of Oak Grove. It was at least 40 times as bright as the full moon at one point.
