Local news is saying it’s had an Aerojet engine
That is so effing embarrassing, but lest we forget obama said for NASA to do outreach to Moslems.
The Aerojet engines are Russian motors which have undergone some modifications.
Looks like it. If you freeze it in the early seconds, it looks like it had a very energetic ignition which may have damaged it.
Also some classified crypto equipment, according to the launch director via CNN ... likely for some black op involving other people who should not be mentioned in public.
I thought the same thing
Press conference moved back to approx. 8:45 PM EDT.
>The brain drain at NASA must be serious.<
.
Will it affect the muzzie’s sense of self worth?
This is not your Daddy’s NASA.
And the press conference has been set back again, this time to approx. 9:00 PM EDT.
I’m sure the hundreds of engineers working thousands of hours weren’t too concerned with Muslim outreach. This is terrible for all of them.
What better way to connect with the Muslim world than through violent explosions?
Yes, I know that it is early in the investigation, but this press conference so far is about as content-free as can be imagined.
Too early to comment on how much damage was done to launch pad, some damaged equipment but some is evidently OK.
Some of the comments on this thread are absolutely disgusting and insulting to the people that work so hard to accomplish these missions.
If you don't know anyone involved or weren't here to see or feel it, YES WE FELT IT, then you should really shut your pie holes because it is obvious most of you have no clue about what is going on.
Some of the press questions are inane.
‘Are there any types of failures that are easier than others to recover from?’ (loosely quoted, but I have captured the gist of it)

There it goes...
bravo. Thank you for saying that. This is close for my family and all the Muslim bs is insulting and opportunistic.
