What do you think would happen when you name rocket after the failed Chevy Vega.
Cheap crappy car made from other models parts and systems. Well maybe it was appropriately named but should have expected the results.

Better than the Chevy Nova, which in Spanish means “Don’t Go”.

Hate to be sailing in the South Atlantic and get whacked in the head by a failed Vega rocket falling from the sky.

I can only attribute it to human error. These kinds of things have cropped up before, Dave, and they have always been due to human error.

The only thing that matters is if the Vega people had the correct quota of trannies, minorities, LBGQT-LSMFTs

Man, that’s fast! That thing took off… like a rocket!

Perhaps Arianespace is a bit out of practice in the launch business.
To: dfwgator
the Nova is a muscle car that my brother-in-law races. Does quite well, or least while t=he was active in racing.

After all is said and done, it IS Rocket Science!
In the launch sequence, generally 95% success is a minimum requirement. Example was the Apollo 13 Launch had a premature shutdown of the center engine of 5 and was not fatal because the other 4 were kept burning a little longer. Their near fatal problem came later but was not from a Saturn failure.
