Nasa officials have confirmed a spacecraft launch has failed after its payload failed to separate and fall away.

The Orbiting Carbon Observatory is the first spacecraft dedicated to studying the build-up of greenhouse gasses.

It was launched on a Taurus rocket from the Vandenburg Air Force Base in California.

A Nasa spokesman said: "Several minutes into the flight of the Taurus rocket carrying Nasa's Orbiting Carbon Observatory spacecraft, launch managers declared a contingency after the payload fairing failed to separate."

:help:

I dunno,but i find this kind of convienient and even if this is just "one of those things" you gotta admit it is still quite spooky cos if the planet is on such a bad way then this latest failure is definetely not a good sign... :scary:

What do you think :?:

No worries m8,just goes to show even the best minds in the world still quite can't figure out the fine details of this life :headscratch:

...stuff happens for a reason i think :think:

.I just don't think this is good,like you say,look at how much this must have cost :?:

...and the time spent actually building the satellite etc :ohno:

Like i have said many times i'm all for space exploration but TOGETHER on a united planet Earth,until we can look after this amazing planet and each other a bit more i think spending millions/billions of money on space exploration is extremely ignorant. :oops:

I think alot that a new world order IS needed,not the one we think is coming,one that is fair and true to everyone,am i asking for too much,i don't think so....I mean how can we send folks into space,have possibly contact with other civilisations and then bring them back here to this place,that'd be embarassing,the planet is magnificent in all but with all of humanity always at each others throats for the most trivial thing the "aliens" would most likely be off back to where they came,who knows,i would like to think they could help us out a bit,perhaps with the recent disclosures something like that may happen :?:

A new world order lol. What we need is a new united states.Us meddling everywhere and throwing our money around is what got us into this mess.That and the open trade agreement, now all the shit is imported.They want to use the housing market as an excuse to why the economy is turned to crap.its corruption that has ruined us, plain and simple.and you believe that one government could control the world lol. Look how many governments there are now and its all turned to shit. the problem is every country has got to get back to its roots and start worrying about its own.and the people got to stop believing what all these corrupt politicians are saying and throw all of them out. No more career politicians.
