    Sitting on my porch watching and confused when it didn't come over the trees. About a minute later WUMP! My son and I are hit with the concussion, shook all my windows and rattled my storm door pretty hard. My cat shot across the yard in terror. I looked over at my son and said " did it explode?"

    Was just watching liftoff with the fam when we ran outside as it was taking off to get a glimpse like we did a few months ago. Stood out there for minutes wondering where it was. Wonder how that boat owner feels now?

    So, they can't just trundle another supply rocket out to the launch pad, right? What are they gonna do up there in the space station, eat the emergency cat food rations?

    See, this is what we, the USofA, get for outsourcing rocket motors & such to RUSSIA......friggin RUSSIA......I mean, are you kiddn me or what?

    For you conspiracy theorists (Archy......paging Archy.....) this destroyed mission is 'message received, President Putin.'

    Thank you Mr. President for privatizing and outsourcing our space program.

    I agree.

    I think the launch pad is toast at the moment. Going to have to do a ton of repairs on that.









    I was the news guy on the beach here in NJ. Everyone was all excited on the beach. Checked my phone after I didn't see it.


    "So apparantly it blew up...."
    Was along the lines of what I said.

    Exactly.
    And another classic: outsourcing to China (CHINA!) the construction of the SF-Oakland bridge.

    The Ohamster idiot is out to destroy our nation, it seems patently clear.
