A glitch in a Russian space launch may have sent part of a rocket and its payload -- a satellite -- plummeting down onto southeastern Siberia, according to Russian state-run media reports. It is the second space mission failure for the Russian Federal Space Agency, Roscosmos, in less than a month. And the mishap occurs on the anniversary of a similar loss in 2014.

“We’re about to jump leaps and bounds over the Russians and everybody else with partial privatization. “

What’s to keep the Chinese from buying SpaceX? Everyone has a price.

LOL!

SpaceX wouldn’t be nearly this far along if the Russians hadn’t tried to get Musk drunk and steal all his money when he tried to buy rockets from them. Thank you Russians.

Never heard about this. Is Musk the fellow who runs SpaceX? Got some good links you can give me where I can learn more about SpaceX, privatization, and this Russian/drunk thing?

We’ve got a space program too. It involves the space between NASA administrator’s ears. Talk about a vacuum.

You mean this NASA?

Maybe we would all catch a break and it could land where the homeowners are sitting in their living room at 15 Old House Lane. That would be Chappaqua, NY.

Yeah, sure they have a space program and all, but do they have a Muslim Outreach program that has, eh, lead to, eh, better relations with, eh,...oh forget it!

Quick. Make a treaty with them to keep their debris from falling to Earth.
