Antares launch explosion
This happened earlier today.. Once of these haven't happened in a long while and thankfully it was unmanned so no one was hurt.

It happens. The emergency abort was hit so the rocket self destructed.

Not surprised some people are bitching about wasting taxpayer money when they fail to realise the entire NASA budget is a mere drop in the bucket when compared to their military budget. The Iraq War was money well spent?

We seem to need periodic reminders that we have a long way to go before we could ever say we have conquered space flight. What an awesome and humbling lesson. As they say: I fucking love science!

LOL, I almost won a Darwin award with my first model rocket when I was maybe 11? Launched it, went up parachute didn't deploy came straight down I got under it thinking I'll catch it...........I jumped out of the way at the last second and instead of hitting my in the head it embedded a foot into the hard packed dirt. I laugh about it now but I'm not even kidding it would have killed me instantly.

The Virgin spaceship must be terrifying to ride in lol, be dropped from the host plane then ride the rocket booster to the edge of space and glide back in? Lol
