...are you really, really sure you want to continue sending U.S. Astronauts up on Russian ships to the International Space Station? At the rate their space agency is failing to launch correctly, it's only a matter of time.
Pieces of the most recent failure dropped on a street named for the Russian Cosmonauts.
I know, if we were to ask the NASA head that question at a news conference, he would assure us that everything is just fine.
But at home, where nobody can hear him...he has to be thinking WTF?
Bring back the shuttles! At least the US had 133 successful ups and downs with them.
[UPDATE: on 1/7/12, a Voice of America blog raised some of the same questions, but they got in touch with folks who should have the answers. Here's the blog entry.]

I had wondered what happened with that satellite. Wasn't there also a question about hazardous material on board?
ReplyDelete....Hey Charles...that's another failed Russian launch you're thinking of..a Mars explorer. It is due to come back to earth in January!
