En 2012, l'étoile la plus brillante du sport, toutes disciplines confondues, était un jeune quarterback de petite taille évoluant au sein de la modeste équipe de l'université Texas A&M, dont l'intensité sur le terrain n'avait d'égale que celle qu'il mettait à faire la fête. Surnommé "Johnny Football", le joueur charismatique, qui s'était rapidement fait remarquer, assumait pleinement son alter ego. Mais avec l'argent, la curiosité médiatique s'est emballée. Johnny Manziel a rejeté la célébrité et s'est égaré. En toute transparence, le sportif, mais aussi sa famille, ses entraîneurs, son meilleur ami de l'époque et son agent décrivent ce qui se passait en coulisse à l'heure où les scandales s'accumulaient sous les flashs des paparazzi. Malgré un parcours controversé, Johnny Manziel est parvenu à atteindre une autre forme de réussite : la paix intérieure et le bonheur d'une vie plus tranquille qu'il présente ici.
A Long March 2-C rocket carrying a satellite jointly developed by China and France lifted off from a space base in Xichang, in southwestern China. The launch took place around 3:00pm (0700 GMT).

A rocket made by a Japanese company exploded just after launch on Wednesday in Japan's Wakayama. Tokyo-based startup Space One had been aiming to become the first Japanese private firm to successfully place a satellite into orbit. Its 18-meter (60-foot) solid-fuel Kairos rocket blasted off from the startup's own launch pad in Wakayama prefecture in western Japan, carrying a small government test satellite. But seconds after the launch, the rocket erupted into a ball of flame, with black smoke filling the launch pad area. Burning debris was seen falling onto the surrounding mountain slopes as sprinklers began spraying water. IMAGES
