The spaceport is another Richardson venture and he has pledged millions of taxpayer money to join with Branson in this project. A recent state-wide poll found his spending state money here (while vetoing money for school repairs and other needed projects [vetoed because the sponsoring legistlator angered the governor in one way or another during the session]) was not at all as popular as for other capital spending projects, including the commuter railroad.

Richardson's got a track record of screwed up logic. This is going to harm the tax payers down there for a very long time.

Who is advising the high schoolers? The pressure of space launch? The question is whether the launch vibrations will destroy the watch, not whether or not they survive the vacuum. Either question can be answered on the ground -- in fact, they should have been answered if the payload was properly tested before launch.
Does anyone know what they launch vehicle is? There are lots of cool ones at WSMR, but I'm guessing it's a new vehicle.

I don't care about the politics of it. Anytime a rocket fails to launch or crashes on American soil it is a shame.

Officials with UP Aerospace, the Connecticut-based company that funded the launch, said it reached about 40,000 feet before falling.
