Authorities do not know why it malfunctioned.

"But about five minutes into the 14 minute flight -- 18 miles up -- a motor failed, causing the rocket to come spiraling down."

Sounds to me like that's the malfunction.

I think it was shot down by the Borealis.
The government of Boreal has yet to apologize however.

They don't call it rocket-science for nothin.

I worked for 3 years at Poker Flats, and we had a few failures. Not a big deal.

"Lynch estimated the rocket and instrumentation aboard it were worth between $1 million and $5 million."

Somewhere between $1 mil and $5 mil? Seems like a rather broad estimate. Did someone lose the receipt or something?

PING!!

[Moonman62]

Did we ask for Canada's permission for the launch?

Hey, what's a few million when it comes to rocket science?

"Hey, what's a few million when it comes to rocket science?"

It's a few million lying across the frozen tundra of Alaska. I bet the wild animals were up all night staring at the sky waiting for the next attack. The lights were out last night...dancing beautifully. What a shame the rocket didn't get to enjoy the show.

Are these the same guys in Alaska who want to have a nuke reactor? Hmm.

Who cares about the money, did the rocket come down and kill one of our friends on the forest floor. We need a congressional investigation NOW, write or e-mail your congressperson immediatly.

[Arkie2]

Just kidding!

I tell ya, if there's a moose down I'd like to say, "DIBBIES ON THE MOOSE!!!".

[Chena]
