you dont think the thrust from the rocket isnt the cause of global worming? like we havnt only done one. lol

Man, my father worked on this satellite. I remember watching the launch at Orbital at something like 4 in the morning. We all just went, "Okay, WTF just happened?"

0:28 sounded like he said T-1second

This IS the failure footage. You hear the faring separation call at 3:58... but it didn't.

[0nanimus]

No failure footage?! Heard some very plausible explanations from NASA types, news, gov and the like. I guess, once again, we'll all have to take them at their word.

[taofledermaus]

Environmenalists probably sabotaged it. OCO would have disproved all their propaganda and agenda to tax us all more just for breathing. : p

[cochiiise]

this is part of the "Economic Stimulus Plan" fella's :-) waaaaaahoooooooo!

[shephenkel]

where's the video with the "aw sh!t" moment?

[bennyboyboy314]

i want my $1.31 back

[AlienXCherie]

that thing woke me up blasting off last night. the launch base is only 2 miles away from the base housing...hahaha. I'm sad it didn't gett to orbit... but it did set off all the car alarms in the neiborhood

[BongLeach]

orbital should be ashamed...well if its their fault.

[waruhn]

US made, just results from the US being broke. Let other countries do it.

Looks like NASA is trying to get more funding again. Need another $ 400 million plus to fix the careless oversights. Too bad. :(

[YouXKneekXIT]

OH Yes...I had quick favor...instead of posting the Date above as MM/DD/YYYY can you auto populate MILT Time instead. It's easier to build global reports in 24 H measurements ;)

[YouXKneekXIT]

WOW this OCO makes me want to go "COO!"

[captamericNY]

sabotage occurred

[waruhn]

Yeah or it was terrorists again right?

Maybe you people can now attack another country and torture and kill another million innocent civilians.

[sirnicholson]
