Progress fails to dock with ISS

The Progress 38 cargo spacecraft suffered a communications failure and
flew past the ISS earlier today rather than docking with it:

I suspect Trotskyite Wreckers are responsible, but Glenn Beck thinks it
is the work of Marxist Progressives.
Come to think of it, Trotskyite Wreckers and Marxist Progressives might
be the same thing.
Courage, comrades!

Space.com's article claims it "veered out of control"

They are also mentioning how Progress 37 had to be docked manually.

What is the antonym for progress?-)

Google News now let's you add your own sections, so I put in a "Space"
section, and this story was right there at the top. Close behind is
stuff about adding space to Cobo Center in Detroit.

You do realize that Google is going to use that data on what you are
interested in to better target you for advertising, don't you?

Make sure you know what a "convenience" is going to do before you sign

If I see ads for high precision gyros instead of feminine hygiene
products, I don't immediately see it as an example of corporate
oppression.

I'm still trying to figure out how I ended up on the mailing list for
Longsun Alloys out of China, who were eager to sell me windings for my
hydroelectric dam dynamos. :-D

It's now apparently drifting away from the station while slowly spinning.

Counterrevolutionary hooliganism.
That may explain the slow spinning - it has lost its bearing on the True
Red Path and is engaging in deviationism by counter-revolving.

Not unlike Frank Poole?-)

Oh joy - so it is on the verge of being a big honking peice of space
junk. With an orbit not far from that of the ISS.
