JAPANESE LAUNCH FAILS
---------------------
The second pair of Japanese spy satellites, destined for a reconnaissance
mission to observe the activities of North Korea, was destroyed today
during a failed launch aboard the H-2A rocket. The vehicle didn't achieve
the necessary speed for orbit, prompting controllers to send a destruct
command to the rocket.

distance from a black hole, it will get swallowed forever with no chance
to escape. That includes light, which means that black holes do not shine
