Richard Branson's spaceship has been grounded  It turns out the test flight wasn't as successful as we thought it was.  
The New Yorker reports that after the craft detached and was blasting off to space traveling at twice the speed of sound, the onboard pilots got yellow and red warning lights to indicate the spaceship wasn't vertical enough to make it back to earth safely. The plane uses the momentum of the accent to then set it up for its glide back to the runway on earth. The FAA says the plane veered outside its approved airspace for over a minute. They're now investigating,  
Their first revenue generating mission, with the Italian Air Force, is now on hold.  Twitter looking to archive your old thoughts 
Tweets from deep on the timeline have caused people numerous problems over the years. Opinions evolve, cultural moments happen and society's social contract changes but the Tweets live on. Twitter needs fresh content every minute, so needs to assure people that posting their thoughts and happenings is a good idea. They're reportedly looking at a feature to archive Tweets from public view after 30, 60, or 90 days or a full year after they're sent.
