Hope it wasn't a Ukrainian missile test gone awry.

... Crashed? Into what at 119 miles up?

Maybe it is a translation error and it lost control or, huh, exploded?

I’m sure there’s another ready to go...but no one is every happy when something like this happens.

crashed at the altitude of 190 kilometers (118 miles)

That's pretty hard to do...............usually aircraft crash at an altitude of 0............

Was this due to Russian hacking?

Nothing has changed over there. I'd expect to see that name in the Soviet Union..

Now wait a minute, are they saying the rocket crashed 190 kilometers up in the sky? I know the Tuva district has mountains, but none are that high.

an unmanned cargo space ship that blasted off to the International Space Station has crashed due to an unspecified malfunction.

I'm gonna take a wild stab at this and say that gravity had a lot to do with it.

Must have hit a really tall mountain to have crashed at 190 km above Russia.

The cargo ship apparently not able to stop at the space station. It couldn’t find a parking meteor.

What’s up with SpaceX?

I thought they were doing a mission this month?
