Go-around - my first sighting

His landing and/or approach clearance might have been canceled for
numerous reasons, say, another aircraft can't get off the runway, or
another aircraft reporting foreign object on the runway and the tower
is sending a vehicle to pick it up, etc, etc.

Things like this are not very common, but not rare either. No captain
will lose his job because of a go around.

I was admiring an Emirates A330 on finals earlier today. It appeared to
be on the proper glide path (guaging from the earlier string of
aircraft). A mile out or so, for some reason, TOGA! and the aircraft
went into quite a nose-up attitude and climbed away, aborting the
landing.

This go-around happened on a clear wintry morning with little or no
wind. Hope the Cap'n doesn't lose his job, unless there was some other
reason like runway incursion )

Have you guys ever missed an approach and had to hit TOGA? And does a
go-around make its way as a pilot's log book entry?
