Oh God...

Was that dude actually sobbing?

It's not like it was the frickin Hindenburg going up in flames or something!

An as load of "gods" and "oh gods". I think I heard "Jesus" "Christ" and at least one "holy shit". Not one "fuck" or "holy fuck", which are probably a few of the expletives that I would of chosen.

Students weren’t the only ones who lost valuable research. The spacecraft was also carrying an asteroid-hunting satellite designed by Planetary Resources, a start-up company in Redmond, Wash. As the Seattle Times reported, the company was as undeterred as the kids. The corporate tweet after the explosion said: “Live to fly another day. Onward!”

Maybe he owned stock in Planetary Resourses from Redmond Wa.:ugh:

Nice theories guys, but I'm putting my money on him pissing or shitting his pants (or possibly both) because he thought he was about to get flambe'd.

Apparently rocket launches aren't the manliest of venues when it comes press assignments.

I'm not deminishing the set-back to NASA and everyone else involved though. It is a bummer, but this shit is going to happen from time to time.

Especially when you're using 45 year old Russian rocket engines. :rolleyes: Actually, make that Soviet Union rocket engines.

We probably intentinally did it just to make them look bad.

There was an article in Time about how our falling out is actually fueling innovation amonst NASA and a few serious civilian corporations.

The more things change the more they stay the same.
