The Taurus XL rocket lifted off early Friday morning carrying NASA's "Glory" satellite, but fell out of the sky minutes later. A protective shell failed to separate from the craft, causing the failed launch. This was the second time in two years the satellite failed to make orbit. In 2009, the satellite crashed into the ocean near Antarctica. The mission is costing NASA about $424 million. About $54 million went into Friday's Glory launch. NASA has already started a board to investigate the mishap. http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/healthscience/2011/March/NASA-Suffers-Multi-Million-Dollar-Failure/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be doing just fine with their 1960's technology rockets. Wonder why we don't do the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can, that is. We don't. Are you trying to say the Russians are superior in their space exploits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can, that is. We don't. Are you trying to say the Russians are superior in their space exploits? Unfortunately, yes. They can haul bigger payloads than us. They can easily launch up to 16 times per month. They can launch manned vehicles into space on back to back days. They operate at about 20% of the cost per payload pound we operate at. They have a viable space ship, our shuttle fleet is down to its last few missions and we have no working replacement. Yes, they are superior. Do they have the high tech gizmos we have? No, but what they have works. You can no longer cover up launch failures. They are simply not having them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
