A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the Anasis 2, or KMilSatCom 1, communications satellite for the South Korean military. The spacecraft was built by Airbus Defense and Space. Delayed from July 14. [July 14]

    Bill Gates almost certainly has Asperger's. Which could very well be why you dislike him. Not saying you don't like him 'cause of some perceived or unperceived disability, but that he has poor social skills. Thus, is easy to be unlikable. To my knowledge he's never come out and said that he has Asperger's or anything else. So, maybe he's just not likable, or he wants to keep it as a mostly private matter. Which would seem very reasonable to me.
