"We're seeing this as a setback, not a failure,"In MOST cases a "TRUE SETBACK" is a FAILURE!
Keep "spinning" though.. sooner or later you'll find some BELIEVERS!

They probably didn't find enough cow farts so the satellite was "lost" to preserve the narrative.

Needed to look up this TV series...
The 1970s science fiction comedy series, Quark, featured a space garbage truck. The show, which aired in 1978, centered around Adam Quark and his crew aboard the United Galaxy Sanitation Patrol Cruiser, an interstellar garbage scow. Their primary duty was to collect “space baggies” filled with garbage throughout the galaxy. The show parodied popular science fiction tropes of the time.

Whenever $88 million dollars is lost, it’s a failure.

I think his wedding cost something like 50+ million or so.

Maybe overnighted to the wrong address?

I find it ironic that Bezos’ New Glenn rocket uses natural gas (mostly methane) as fuel in the first stage.

I have noticed that the "Space Community" is always dumping on Space X, which has proven reliable,
but they are always cheering for Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin which has only had one orbital flight.
As history demonstrates, exuberance leads to death.
To: dayglored
Sounds like it ran out of gas.

Which reminds me ... I haven't been out for Mongolian grill in quite a while.
Two plates of stir fry beef with extra onions, and I'll have those satellites' homing instincts back on track in no damn time.

Good. Let the cows fart in peace!
To: Prov1322
Riding space plane, high on methane, Jeffie Bezos better watch your creed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind, cows have been farting since the beginning of time.

For some reason I keep channeling Dr. Jacob Bronowski from the old “Ascent of Man” series and pronouncing it me-thane in my head.
