Description:
On April 26, 1962, Britain launched its first satellite, Ariel 1.<br/><br/>This made the United Kingdom the third country to have a satellite in orbit after the U.S. and the Soviet Union — but they didn't launch it themselves. Ariel 1 launched on an American Thor-Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. It was also built at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. Britain's Science and Engineering Research Council provided all of the experiments. Five of the six experiments on board studied the relationship between solar radiation and Earth's ionosphere, and one was dedicated to studying cosmic rays. Just 10 weeks after Ariel 1 launched, it was damaged by an explosion during a high-altitude nuclear test conducted by the U.S. military. Its solar panels broke, and it was unable to transmit any more useful data after that.

The Supreme Court heard arguments today and seem to be leaning towards rejecting Trump's claim of absolute immunity. This claim, which Trump has made in an attempt to shield himself from various investigations and legal actions, asserts that a sitting president is immune from any criminal prosecution or investigation. The justices seemed doubtful of the legitimacy of this argument. They questioned whether absolute immunity could be justified under the Constitution and raised concerns about the potential dangers of granting a president unchecked power. Although the timing of the decision is unclear, the court's ruling will have far-reaching implications for presidential powers and accountability. We will continue to monitor this case closely as more information becomes available, on Fan Reviews News.")
