Where was Wernher Von Braun ? ?This was inexcusable!! ?NASA management ?must have been involved again, just as in the case of the idiots who descided to launch the Shuttle when the pad was coated in ice!!! Nice job!?
It could lift a train.I rebuilt the piston pumps at llorell space in Sunnyvale CA to simulate the vacuum of space to test their 48 million dollar communication satellites and space has enough vacuum to suck the ocean up
Isn't this the conference room from 2001 a space odyssey? o.O
Will this make NASA's unexplained files on the science channel? ?
By spaceX stock if they IPO!!
It was a?anomaly, not a failure guys. ;P
Does anyone know if Rachel is related to Chris?
No doubt probably something some engineer before the launch was trying to tell management about but they were ignored.
Private companies are not allowed to make mistakes like this. There should be harsh repercussions against orbital science. They are lucky nobody was hurt. Nasa, you are ultimately responsible for the lives of our dear astronauts.?
Anomaly is NASA's fancy way of saying something F'kd up bad.
I like that anomaly
My 1st marriage was an anomaly……… I feel better already
