Always a shame when this happens, but thus is the nature of rocket technology. It's volatile and naturally hard to get right.
The person who uploaded this is weird, treating it like another lets play video in the annotations and description "like if you lold! subscribe is you rofld!"
Loooolollol, @0.04 - If she aint an alien than im not a member of this forum. Gud evah-ningh evah-reyone...
I don't want to think about all the money, time, and effort put into such a thing, and see it burn and explode in a matter of seconds. Imagine all the little children around the world working in those mines to get the resources for such high technology projects, and tell them their work was a total waste of time...
NASA jet propolsion labs are now doing 2 feasibility studies, one on warp drives (I kid you not), and the other Ion thrusters, for powering spacecraft. Be a while before any serious progress is made though.. They are looking at warping space for interstellar travel. This is largely theoretical atm.
That's actually like those Star Trek guys 'invented' it to work. Makes sense, since nothing can go faster than light (besides tachyons maybe), you just shorten the distance to travel. Makes sense, doesn't it? :bonk:
Well, they would go and tender routine launches out to private business. It wasn't NASA it was an 'Orbital Sciences' flight.
These explosions on take off are surprisingly frequent in the satellite industry. There have been a few delays with recent SES Astra satellite shuffling.
