An unmanned Delta rocket carrying a 45 million dollar satellite is less than successful, resulting in a firestorm over cape Canaveral.

Whats old is old.

 

Yeah, I noticed that later on...

 

Still a cool explosion. I can root for unmanned stuff to turn into molten debris ... when it's a shuttle is when I get depressed[:'(]

 

"We have an anomaly"..................I think there could have been a better phrase to be used like "THE S**T JUST BLEW UP"

 

Didn't ya know ... to work at NASA yer *** has to be so tight they couldn't pull a needle out of it with a tractor But ya, that would be more appropriate ...

 

wow...$45Million down the drain...

 

I remember when this happened (January 1997). News reports were saying that the Sheriff's Department down there was warning people to stay inside and turn off their A/C's because the smoke plumes were so large.

 

Ya know we had a chlorine factory burn up here and the idiots said the same thing ... turn off your a/c. Truth is if your a/c is pulling in outside air you got a problem. I have universal a/c certification and work in a frikkin powerhouse with a 1700T, 1000T and (4) 200+T chillers and I have yet to see them pull in outside air unless I open a damper.

 

Ya and the damper opens a 1/2" hole for "outside venting". LOL *window units*
