Marvel, ‘Star Wars’ and DC’s Biggest Fans Discuss Why Their Favorite Franchises Are Struggling: ‘I’m Still Waiting for “Blade”’

James Gunn, there’s a Johnny Depp impersonator who would like to have a word about DC.

“I think the new ‘Supergirl’ sucks,” 39-year-old Oklahoma City native and devoted DC fan John (go figure) says from San Diego Comic-Con’s main floor.

In early July, NASA launched a spacecraft designed to rescue the Swift observatory, which is currently decaying at a faster rate than normal, in hopes that it could still collect data for scientists over the coming years. But now that spacecraft itself is in trouble, and the fate of the mission remains unclear. In an update on the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory blog, NASA has revealed that the spacecraft called LINK experienced attitude control issues last weekend, meaning it had problems managing its orientation in space. That caused the spacecraft to spin, which in turn resulted to sporadic communications.
