NASA global warming satellite launch fails

A rocket carrying an Earth-observation satellite plummeted into the Pacific Ocean after a failed launch attempt Friday, the second-straight blow to NASA's weakened environmental monitoring program.

The Taurus XL rocket carrying NASA's Glory satellite lifted off early Friday morning from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, but fell to the sea several minutes later. The same thing happened to another climate-monitoring satellite two years ago with the same type of rocket.

"We failed to make orbit," NASA launch director Omar Baez said at a press conference Friday. "Indications are that the satellite and rocket ... is in the southern Pacific Ocean somewhere."

Officials explained that a protective shell atop the rocket didn't come off the satellite as it should have about three minutes after launch. That left the Glory spacecraft without the velocity to reach orbit.

So it's not that you a skeptic anymore, you accept it and are actively trying to cover it up. Just clarifying.

Shopper, you crack me up sometimes

So the third time Nasa decides to shoot rockets into the Pacific, we'll stage a military funeral at sea on target with the missile trajectory and let the westboro baptist crew know.
Oh, and tell Ghadafi that amazon virgins await him.

Wait, what am I thinking, let's send the fake baptist people to Ghadafi's house and tell him to keep his relatives in his cage with him. We'll call it his kingdom, not his cage, cause he's under the delusion that he still reigns.

Well, tomorrow is another day.

Somehow B. P. is to blame for this launch FAIL

Relax, the satellite's funtion is to monitor the climate not regulate or unionize it.
