Maybe relying on the Russians for “international” space station access wasn’t such a good idea. Well...at least NASA is concentrating on good moozlum things and gloBULL warming. All is well. Thank Goodness we have our first administration run by a mixed race black/caucasian/middleeasterner.
Call the Space Cowboys of Operation Daedelus!
Spaceballs to the rescue!
Looks like there go the fresh fruits and vegetables.
“Mikhail Fadeyev, declined to comment on the latest botched launch .”
With all the slap downs the Obama has been getting from
Putin, I wouldn’t doubt this is sabotage.
“US Vandenberg Air Force in California detected 44 items of debris of unknown origin in orbit close to the ailing Progress space ship.”
Sounds like something blew up or may be it was shot.
“SpaceX is contracted to deliver cargo to the ISS under NASA’s Commercial Resupply Services program, and Dragon began regular cargo flights in October 2012.”
SpaceX Dragon CRS would take Progress’ place and bump
Russia out.
Funny how I seem to expect the worse from my government.
Good post thanks.
While our media is fixated on Baltimore.
Normally, these vessels are jettisoned on controlled re-entry paths over the south Pacific, so that any fragments that survive burnup land in the ocean. This would be an uncontrolled re-entry, so some pieces could make it to land.
But the danger to people is very slim. More than two-thirds of Earth are covered in water and only about 3% of the land is occupied by urban areas.
Sheesh. “Hurtling towards Earth,” “crash into Earth.” It’s orbit is decaying until it burns up in the atmosphere.
The crew of the International Space Station says a Russian supply ship that went into an uncontrollable spin after launch has been declared a total loss.
American astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko told The Associated Press on Wednesday that flight controllers have given up trying to command the cargo carrier.
"What too you so long?"
How about Baltimore? Look! Free sh..., er, stuff!
I don’t get it. Is that a commercial? There’s not one Jimmy Johns in The Peoples Republic of Connecticut. Lot’s of Starbucks and Panera Breads though. We just did get a Chick-fil-A recently.

Yet every bad weather event is caused by man.
The bad news is that those "sufficient supplies" are all of the packages of beet & asparagus surprise that keep on being shoved to the back of the cabinet for the past ten years. Cannibalism may be the better option.
Their commercials emphasize impossibly fast deliveries of food in lots of improbable situations. They can be quite humorous.
Plus their food is quite good. I wouldn’t mind a Jimmy John’s “Vito” Italian sub right about now.
I wonder if GoFundMe will allow me to crowdsource a fund to pay off the Russians to have the spacecraft nail D.C.?
