Thursday’s launch was the first by a Proton rocket since June 9, 2016, when the Intelsat 31/DLA-2 communications satellite launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Russian officials grounded the Proton to study an upper stage engine problem, then the launcher’s return to service was delayed several more months due to a recall of Russian rocket engines found to have defects.

He spoke about his viewpoint on the ill effects of the Porter Ranch Gas Leak. RAfter the incident in late 2015, Nordella “watched as the leaders (medical groups, state utility commissions, city, county) did nothing.” He began the fi rst part of his study in January 2016, and after spending a year on it, he started a new investigative study in January 2017. “I’m just trying to do what I think is right,” Nordella said. Recently, many people have expressed their concerns regarding how plaintiff attorneys are handling these matters. Nordella wishes to have more communication and collaboration with them. “It is tough to say… because I personally don’t know how they are handling matters. Unfortunately, I have only had a little bit of communication with them. I am not retained by any fi rm or lawyers at this time to do any work. I do not mean it to insult anybody. I just want to stay neutral… To the respect of the plaintiff attorneys, I hope and believe that they also have experts looking at this as well… I just wish there was more collaboration,” Nordella said. Nordella also mentioned his suspicions regarding the rising rates of the “Future” California Governor community’s illness.
