	<title><![CDATA[An update on this RSS feed...]]></title>
	<description>
      <![CDATA[
        I had been considering stopping this feed, as I don't really know that it's getting much use. And it appears
        that my intended purpose, which was to provide status updates, may not be well suited to the RSS paradigm:
        Apparently, you cannot force the propagation of <i>updates</i> to an article, so I can't keep you updated on launch window
        changes.<br/>
        Thus, henceforth, I will only put mission-specific info in articles here. For launch windows and any updates,
        <i><b>follow the article link</b></i>.<br/>
        <hr/>
        The other, more handy way of getting timely reminders and updates of launch activities is to subscribe to the
        <a href="https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=MXJiaGMzaGgyZm90YWE5ZTRtdGdrcGpmZnNAZ3JvdXAuY2FsZW5kYXIuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbQ" target="other">Socal-Skylights Google calendar</a>.<br/>
        <br/>
        If you have any questions, please <a href="mailto:russ@socal-skylights.org" target=mail">send me an email (russ@socal-skylights.org)</a>.
