Raw Video: Space Balloon Crashes During Launch

[TheSataraid]

This is why women shouldnt be scientist!

[DodgeMan360]

Just shows how powerful those things can be, it wrecked that car hah

[datzfast]

its all great fun, and then the screaming begins. jesus Christ in a chicken basket who the hell said launch with wind. bet he got the proper promotion. probably a medal of honor,

[deebie12]

@engaurd The end of Innocence is gone. Go watch some hockey videos.

[deebie12]

@engaurd No that is someone else. I keep my religious opinions to myself seeing how people like to bash others on here simply for stating whats on their mind.

[razonverdad]

@JesusPaid4You

GOD IS IMAGINARY !!! wake up !

[tzimtzum1618]

How many Aussie's does it take to launch a balloon????

[deebie12]

@engaurd We need to think of the children today living in many countries with no financial stability-terrible educational system-the human race is struggling right here n EARTH!! are going to live in space balloons just so we can ruin space? or is the plan to leave behind the sick-the poor-the drug addicts-the criminals-the politicians etc...are they not worthy of living in space?

[xxxdatxxx]

wow, millions of dollars down the shitter

[akui88]

lol, needed more balloons!

[ric7142003]

crash bang boom

[UnderseaCaveman]

space balloons are more dangerous than BEARS

[gm4ulkill]

aliens!

[YoImDoug]

if there were any retards who read the description it said it was an Australian balloon not an American one... so no it didn't waste Amercan money for the most part

[1019Dan1019]

fuckin owned

[1019Dan1019]

@LovesuckingWeeny721 in soviet russia, condoms use u

[cj3022]

yay for a waste of fucking money..

[kevinsdope]

was someone in there?

[johntcain1967]

whoah man thts intense

[deebie12]

had this space balloon succeeded and lifted into space.....what was it to be doing up there? Was it just going to float around and do nothing? This is so wasteful.

[Razortine]

@deebie12 yeah dude. they totally spent hundreds of hours constructing this balloon, for no reason at all. nothing. you got it. they were just doing it for fun!

...please, think before you hit post, my friend -_-

[deebie12]

@Razortine yeah girl friend, you also don't know what the purpose of this space balloon was to be or you would've given me a simple explanation on what would've come of a successful lift off. There are many countries that are in a financial downfall and this is a WASTE of millions!!!  I'll hit "post" whenever I feel like it!

[Eyedol5]

Stupid cocksuckers, instead of wasting $280 Million Dollars on a wrecking ball they should be working on getting the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM THE US.

[214jcf]

@Eyedol5 It was NOT American money. Why would the Australians spend money getting illegal immigrants from the US? Try reading the description before replying. You just might be an intelligent person, but your comment leaves much room for speculation.

[basterisk]

silly aussies, a lighter-than-air craft is still a heavier-than-space craft

[tantoedge]

Now that is awesome.

[762lenny]

they were just about to throw some shrimp on the barbie - idiots

[762lenny]

things haven't progressed since the Wizard of Oz, Chitty chitty bang bang , or Waterworld.

[ScabbyNubtail]

LMAO! That's what you get when you let a bunch of UC Berkley libs do anything that requires intelligence! LOL!

[somejackball]

hahaaaaaa!!!

[thedarion79]

...and they want us to believe they went to the moon?

[basterisk]

@thedarion79 That was NASA

[chuyton]

they wouldve had a better chance getting into space by making a giant mechanical kangaroo...

[uetzel]

........epic fail of the week, poor dudes

[panetrain]

Dang, that's not good. Those things usually aren't cheap!

[Idonthaveanam3]

Hmm.. Thats no going to space any time soon.

[303430]

QUIK CALL THE MIB!! we have another Roswell on our hands OH MY!!

[citizenkong]

That sucks. Now Australia will never put a man on the moon.

[a7green]

....... Looks like it's still an Earth balloon.

[Rupert5432]

Good thing Balloon boy wasn't in there.

[scootosan]

part is parts...gravity is abitch ay fellas

[7jerryv7]

Funny shit.

[mssedmebich]

will this be Ballon fail or telescope fail?

[TheNRA4ever]

somehow, people will blame this on George W. Bush.

[chilly162]

half of the time I see the word NASA it has to do with millions of dollars worth of equipment being destroyed. NASA seems like something the government needs to stop funding.

[eeergo]

@chilly162 That's because you're too busy being ignorant and don't have time to actually check NASA work (and probably space science in general)

[SharkDude1]

A Space Balloon....Really?? Times must be tough when you actually try to send stuff into Space useing a balloon. I think the Aussies just became the "Fourth World Nation" with this fine example of their Space Program!  Too funny!!!

[Exprezu]

now why they didn't thought of that

[B4TT3RY]

Sucks

[LiberalsUtopian]

aww no americans died =( hopefully next time

[eLLriDe420]

@LiberalsUtopian outcast

[pokecrud]

fail

[dknelson]

Another Obama triumph! I hope Pelosi and Frank are on the next launch!

[nihilistic0]

I wasn't aware that Obama was personally in charge of the design, manufacturing, and launch of NASA projects.

Please tell me this is a troll post :/

[ROOKTABULA]

@nihilistic0

Notice that no one blamed random mistakes around the world on Bush during his Monarchy?

Why?

Because he made MORE than enough SERIOUS fuckups all by his lonesome.

Did y'all post any comments about those over the 8 years he was setting up economy to fail and killing off and ruining 1000 upon 1000 of his citizens?

Didn't think so.

Twit.

[DrJoshD]

@nihilistic0 The President technically has the say so for the "manufacturing" and "launch" aspects... he can either give it a green light or dump it... and it sounds like since he has called for a redesign of our new capsule to be used as an escape pod, I'd say he has some "design" authority too.

[ROOKTABULA]

@dknelson

Repeat Post for a Fox News Repeater Parrot:

[DrJoshD]

@ROOKTABULA The error you and countless others are committing occurs with every Presidency it seems. Using an invalid argument that we shouldn't complain about Obama because we didn't complain about past Presidents. PEOPLE DID COMPLAIN AND POST COMMENTS ABOUT BUSH. AND CLINTON. Shock! Clinton?? People complained about Clinton? Of course. All the time. However we now magically live in a world where trolls think he was the best president that ever lived and no one complained about him ever.

[papatire]

@ROOKTABULA

Did you just get a tv this year? This has got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever read on youtube.

[ROOKTABULA]

@papatire

When you say, "THIS has got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever read on youtube": you're referring to your own post?

As for TV?

Yup! I sure gots me one of them colour teevees....

[ImTheSolace1]

those damn kangaroos!

[SexCyberGuideCom]

thanks

[hurtfulabe]

oh my fucking god i thought it was floating in the air and then crashed but they destroyed it before it even went up wow all that money WASTED

[incognito9887]

NASA's future in 3,2,1.

[fullertonpunx]

MAJOR FAIL

[eveningniteshade]

AUSTRALIA YOU ARE A GLOBAL EMBARRESSMENT.

Does anyone know what went wrong there?

Was that crane not suppose to move, or was it suppose to move but not disconnect the balloon?

[apodo7]

wait, so the AUS space program consists of a giant balloon!?! lol

Balloon = Australian for rocket

[jx14aby]

Back to the drawing board.

[VBlaze1]

Think of all the people that had to say oh s**t when the project began to fail......XD

nasa was tryin to send supplys to the knocklogs in space<---Knocklogs a intelligent alien race on the planet WTF ^_^ when they discovered they didnt have our supplys they wanted to balloon it to them in space, what ever the f**k there tryin to do....XD my tax dollars hard at work, technically the jokes on me.....XD love NASA

[CRSOLARoCOM]

someone didn't want that one up in the sky, wind gust I see ....what was the wind speed up tell that moment of time just wonder also.

[803brando]

LOL !!! more proof aussies should not have a space program.

[newcaramrod]

i wanna hear the story they gotta tell their car insurance lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!! "um... a balloon did this..."

[j1232]

Ouch! - There goes some money!

[kakarrot62]

looks like it was too heavy for the balloon. someone obviously miscalculated how much helium it needed. someone is getting fired

[oceansdoor]

I guess it's time to use the handyman's secret weapon..........duct tape

[slasiek1]

dumb people

[12GaugeLosAngeles]

Who types thes descriptons... "MOORNING" almost all the descriptions have mispelling. Someone is hungover at work today!

[ododododod09714]

nasa fail... that's just stupid mistake

[mhirtes12]

DERP!

[sacrux]

Nothing a little duct-tape wont fix.

[pubtor]

what a waste

[citabria808]

I want to know when NASA will FIRE the project launch team, as all of them are responsible for this failure. And who picks up the tab to rebuild this pile of sheeet.

[ihatelifejosemartine]

Wow, talk about miserable fail..

[raylougrif]

oh dear not good

[esunsinverguenza]

BALLOON FAIL

[tradernorton05]

Was the baloon boy involved?

[unillenium]

@tradernorton05 they did it to get on tv I reckon.

[OletBrasiliasta]

@tradernorton05 LOL.

[superpatsavouras]

emmm... Houston, we've had a problem !

[transparency2012]

stupid Australians cant do anything right.

[fizzrate]

@transparency2012 this was a NASA project

[GaiasBatweasel]

such a shame...And I was looking forward to this too :(

[cyberteque]

bummer about the payload.

hope it goes better next launch.

[GeminiAzules]

After all, look at the way they handle their high altitude scientific equipment! and its durable enough to destroy a truck!

[GeminiAzules]

Well that settles it. the US should hand our space program over to Australia. They will do a much better job at it than NASA in Texas.

[fockya]

australians should stick to animal shows, and leave the space experiments to the u.s and russia haha

[tpb288]

@fockya to bad it was a NASA balloon. Ha, ha, ha!

[cyberteque]

@fockya Go fuck yourself, asshole!

We get more science done in a week than the US!

[LibertaerUeberAlles]

Good that no people were inside.

[Vleesball]

50 years ago they would think this was be alienspace craft.

[Shahbazkhell]

leave this video, lest this debris fall on us

[gregapage]

haha fail!

[LilBaby1366]
