NASA rocket explodes

[sword-master1]

NASA's unmanned Antares rocket failed 6 seconds into liftoff and fell back to Earth, exploding on impact. Check out the video.

Well, shit.

[JRob]

Come on guys, it's not rocket science.

[CGA-999]

Well, we're only adding to our debt by wasting money on rockets.

It shouldn't be considering they've been around since the 60s.

The rocket couldnt contain all of the pure freedom it held

[Ronald-McDonald-LoL]

Going to space is difficult.

I was watching the live stream yesterday when It got delayed and again today when it blew the FUCK UP.
epic moment when you're stoned but a huge financial and moral wound for NASA.
Rocket Science is hard

that was a nice firework, although it was a bit too short.

There's also a HD version

and a YouTuber who is making money off that video or the video got claimed by the copyright holder.

[Freaki-boy92]

good thing it was unmanned, really.

[DjGubkafish]

Is this some kind of metaphor to offend my dick

[FinaLee]

As someone mentioned, it wasn't really NASA, but I was still pretty bummed to hear about it yesterday. On a slightly related note, however, NASA successfully launched a satellite today that will better our GPS systems. Saw the smoke trail as I was driving to the store. ^_^

I like how you can hear "That main engines at 108%" before the controllers don't seem all that shocked at all. I don't know the logistics of a space rocket launch, but it almost seems like they were expecting something to go very wrong once the engine exceeded 100% working capacity.

[DoctorStrongbad]

They need to make explode proof rockets.

Will look forward to reading the report, also, I'm fairly certain the range control officer detonated it a few feet off the pad. Also, good quote by Richard Branson shortly after Spaceship Two explosion/crash, "space is hard, but worth it."
