The increased size allows more propellant to be carried and as a result the rocket's payload capacity to low Earth orbit has been increased ....

The video shows a large and dark flame, larger than ought to be produced by the engines, right before the loss of thrust. I am not a rocket scientist, but it looks like the fuel tank ruptured and flooded the rocket with kerosene. Otherwise the fuel pumps would be simply unable to supply that much extra fuel. I'd blame the pumps, or the plumbing, if the engine cuts off. Extra fuel, however, has to come from somewhere, and not through those thin pipes that are just enough for normal operation of the engine.

India has a space program — maybe we should outsource NASA to Mumbai?

Now that's real rocket science.

A metaphor for the Obama administration.

An unmitigated Disaster.

“The video says it all.”

The audio said “108%” for thrust.

Haven’t seen something like that since the late 50’s.

Looks like NASA’s Muslim outreach is having the effect Obama wanted.

This is what comes of a Marxist Muslim moron POTUS who changes the mission of NASA from rocketeering to Muslim outreach.
Thanks, B.O. You remain a piece of work.
