According to this article:
Nikki Leynor, Senior Vice President of Remarkable Media, the imagineering company who constructed the unique ship, told IGN the machine was made out of 'a truss skeleton and a custom built network of LEDs for this event,' and would be disassembled following the flight.
The colorful LED lights were attached to spaceship, which was said to be roughly 50 feet in length and assisted by a Black Hawk helicopter.
I wonder if this drone strike occurred during a practice run?

Congress needs to enact some laws banning arbitration clauses.
They hurt consumers and destroy the spirit of the law.
Comment Really, Edge? XSS-vulnerable by design? (Score 4, Interesting) 78
An attacker only needs to open a new page via the “_blank” method and use the document.write function to write malicious code inside this page before loading the actual content. The malicious content — the code to execute a banal XSS attack — remains, and helps the attacker bypass CSP protections.
Just choked on my coffee after reading that. What possible use case could there be for allowing a blank page to even run javascript for document.write in the first place?
Submission + - Hobbyist gives iPhone 7 the headphone jack we've always wanted (engadget.com)
intellitech writes: From the article: "For those of you who miss the iPhone headphone jack, you're definitely not alone. But Strange Parts creator Scotty Allen missed it so much that he decided to add one to his iPhone 7. He just posted a video of the project's entire saga, with all of its many ups and downs, and in the end he holds what he set out to create — a current generation iPhone with a fully functional headphone jack. It turns out, real courage is adding the headphone jack back to the iPhone."
Submission + - Kodi no longer free? If trolls get their way, you might have to pay! (betanews.com)
BrianFagioli writes: Kodi is apparently fighting on another front too — it is battling what it calls "trademark trolls." Yes, apparently some people are looking to exploit the open source software's name for profit. This could potentially lead to people having to pay a fee when selling or buying Kodi devices.
"At least one trademark troll has so far not agreed to voluntarily release their grasp on their registration of our trademark and is actively blackmailing hardware vendors in an entire country, trying to become as rich as possible off of our backs and the backs of Kodi volunteers everywhere. His name is Geoff Gavora. He had written several letters to the Foundation over the years, expressing how important XBMC and Kodi were to him and his sales. And then, one day, for whatever reason, he decided to register the Kodi trademark in his home country of Canada. We had hoped, given the positive nature of his past emails, that perhaps he was doing this for the benefit of the Foundation. We learned, unfortunately, that this was not the case," says Nathan Betzen, Kodi Project Manager.

This is why every car I've ever owned is from pre-2010. And I especially like the even older ones that continue to start even after gutting their internal electronics.
Comment Eh, familiar with the definition of theft? (Score 1) 62
Just because somebody neglects to file the patent in another country doesn't mean it wasn't technically stolen. Legality, however, is another question, and probably differs between the originating country and the country where the piracy is occuring.

Funny. Oddly enough, I did, too. Before I commented. No statistics, numbers, etc. Even just checked again. A bunch of articles with no numbers. Even if it is true, it's not like the stockpile of already-made products is going to get ripped apart to satisfy manufacturing demand.
