U.S. Marine Cpl. Matt Garst, a squad leader in Afghanistan, is one tough soldier. He stepped on an IED, which exploded directly beneath him.

He reports that he was very sore when he woke up the next morning.In other news, Virgin Galactic’s private suborbital spacecraft made its first flight with a crew onboard.
