Monitor Exhaust Polution

[GeorgeS]

A new 270 Mill $ Sattilite, to monitor the exhaust output of your bike, went up the other day, but did not make it into orbit.

 

Crashed in the southern ocean somplace

I guess Eck's Buddies screwed up on this one.

 

 

Seeing the Title of the Thread, I thought i'd have to advise you to a Wide Band Commander .... :whistling:

Latest news is that the cost of that failed bird was 300 million......looks like NASA is certainly doing its fair share to stimulate the economy with spending.

Hey Squeeze...sorry my friend, but it was not one of ours.... (Thank God..)

It was made by Orbital in Tucson, Arizona

It was a "Taurus II" rocket, which has a six for eight mission success rate ..to date.

Eck my Friend, I did know that before, i've read the Story last Night on the Internet News. I just wanted to poke you a Bit...:whistling:

 

I'm sorry if you feeling hurt.

 

 

On the serious Side, six out of eight isn't a really good Ratio, isn't it ? I Kind of wonder why they thrust such Adventures with such expensive Payload ? Ok, "expensive" is relative in Space Technology Terms, but i believe there must be some "cheaper" Payload out there to learn and achieve better Results ?
