Virgin Orbit engineers are analyzing data to find out what caused the maiden flight of its air-launched satellite booster to fail. The problem occurred soon after the LauncherOne rocket was released Monday from a Boeing 747 jetliner off the Southern California coast. Virgin Orbit says the launch was not terminated by the autonomous flight safety system, which would have been triggered if the rocket left its flight corridor. The company says there was a “clean release” from the jet and the rocket lighted its engine as planned. What happened next remains to be determined.  The company is building six other rockets.

The exhibition is out of the way. Now it's time for real golf from Colonial when the PGA Tour season resumes. And AP Golf Writer Doug Ferguson says it won't be nearly as much fun. For one thing, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady won't be playing. And the players won't be wearing microphones. The “Champions for Charity” match Sunday was a big hit because it was a hit-and-giggle event that raised some serious money for COVID-19 relief funds.

Even tiny clots that can damage tissue throughout the body have been seen in hospitalized patients and in autopsies. This feature of the disease is confounding doctors’ understanding of what was once considered mainly a respiratory infection. It's also raising questions about prevention and treatment.
