NASA rocket explodes during launch at Wallops Island

This was not a "NASA Rocket." This is Orbital Sciences operating under a NASA contract. This is the "cheap, reliable, commercial alternative" to NASA-led programs that FReepers always hail as superior.

I guess nobody's perfect.

That’s right. Nasa only creates powerpoint presentations anymore.

This actually utilizes Russian engines, which will no doubt get the blame.

ROckets blow up sometimes. It’s a fact of life. I fail to see the advantage of how blowing up an expensive NASA diversity rocket would be better than blowing up a cheaper one.
