Q: Why did a flight controller say "Avionics power nominal" right before Antares exploded?

The Antares rocket carrying Cygnus just exploded. A video is available here, explosion at around 3:00. In the video, right as the rocket begins to slide down and explode, a flight controller says "Avionics power nominal". This is the scene when he begins his sentence: It would seem that nothi...

^ This was a thing that happened

How many SE sites are there, in all?

Undo

I think I''ll have to re-enable word boundaries

@Frank like 120 or 140, not counting metas IIRC

@Undo yep. can you revert commits on GH online?

Undo

I dunno

Frank

@Undo Well, I meant exactly. Where can I find that information?

hichris123

@Undo Apparently not.

Jon Ericson

@Frank 129 and counting.

(Does not include 2 in private beta as of this afternoon.)

Is that /about/about linked from anywhere? (URL looks like it's an about page about an about page...)

Frank

11:30 PM

@JonEricson Hmm. Is this A bug?:

Jon Ericson

@WeaponofChoice Not any more. we technically changed /about to be the team page. Having the old page about seems like an oversight.

user259867

@Frank Area 51 is not a Q&A site.

How'd I miss Home Automation launching? >.>

@Frank Hover over the MultiCollider™ on any site: "A list of all 130 Stack Exchange sites"

Unihedron

@Undo I was just thinking about that. And History of Mathematics too

@WeaponofChoice Ooh, good point. Part of it is, though.

@Doorknob Thanks.

Q: How many Stack Exchange sites are there really?

How many Stack Exchange sites are there? Obviously 114, from the Topbar: Or 112, from Stack Overflow, Help, Tour, scroll to near the bottom. The difference is Area 51 from the link on the Tour page is not listed as a site (which it is from the Topbar), but it has its own link. And Stack Ov...

The Area 51 discussion is really a meta... if metas are included in the count, it's over 250...

Low Quality A (76.3%): SHA1SDADADAXCACSCNSKN IKSN KSNMC, by SAMUEL, on security.stackexchange.com.

Frank

@WeaponofChoice It would be 259, no?

user259867

My opinion on the number of SE sites is that it can never be known accurately due to caching.

@Pham offensive/abusive

Frank

@WeaponofChoice But really, I didn't originally ask for 'q/a sites', just 'SE sites'.

hichris123

@Undo reverted

user259867

Should ja.stackoverflow.com count? I stand by my opinion: it's an unknowable number.

user259867

And then cs50.stackexchange.com and another edX site.... neither is in site switcher nor the big list of sites.

@Sam Nah, looks like too much work. Then I'd have to unfold it again.

@Frank I got a more-or-less authoritative answer via API: 266 sites, counting all the metas. Does not include Area 51, though. So, 267.

Is it just me, or is Home Automation locked down more thoroughly than HSM? Both are private betas launched today. I can browse HSM just fine, but can't get to HA. (I did not commit to either, and don't have an account on either site).
