I never seem to hear about US-launched rockets crashing their private payloads into the ocean. I'm just not sure if this is because ours usually don't have that problem, or because we just don't launch rockets anymore....

And, if it were my satellite, I'd be right there watching them pick up the pieces from the ocean floor while I watched ;-)

Did I read that right, they launched it from a platform IN the ocean? Why would they do that?
