We’ve got a space program too.

It involves the space between NASA administrator’s ears.

Talk about a vacuum.

I hope it doesn’t hit an Amtrak train, or we’ll have to listen to another week of “Those mean Republicans won’t fund our infrastructure”

They’ve Lost Another One?

Russia has always been known for quantity over quality.

...

We’re about to jump leaps and bounds over the Russians and everybody else with partial privatization. We’re already there with unmanned launches. And manned launches are within two years of happening.

SpaceX just had a successful pad abort test a little over a week ago.

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.

The Shuttle was a dangerous and expensive dinosaur that went well past the time it should have been retired.

“Preliminary data indicate that the third stage and the Mexican satellite may fall in the Chita region. “The emergencies ministry has been notified,” Interfax news agency quoted a space agency source as saying.

A major setback for the Mexican Space Agency. Who knew they had one.

Russian rocket pieces may crash on land after launch goes awry

Shouldn't this junk have hit the ground by now, it's been up there a long time.

(Or is this just another headline written by some "journalistic" retard?)

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