Chinese Navy Conducting Live Fire Exercise

A video compilation of Chinese navy's recent live fire excercise... however, I am not so sure what's the deal with flying an American flag next to the Chinese flag by the end? (As that's clearly a chinese Type 052 Luhu-class destroyer)

UFO or something else? Launch of Vega VV01, 2012-02-13

 Vega VV01 qualification flight from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.

Vega will lift off from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, to release nine satellites into orbit and add a new capability to Europe's fleet of launch systems. The payload consists of two Italian satellites -- ASI's LARES laser relativity satellite and the University of Bologna's ALMASat-1 -- as well as seven picosatellites provided by European universities: e-St@r (Italy), Goliat (Romania), MaSat-1 (Hungary), PW-Sat (Poland), Robusta (France), UniCubeSat GG (Italy) and Xatcobeo (Spain).

The mission is intended to qualify the overall Vega system, including the vehicle itself, its launch infrastructure and the operations, from the launch campaign to the payload separation and safe disposal of the upper stage.
