Whoa now – ease on back a touch. Too many speculations and too much ignorance involved in this supposedly newsworthy scare. Ain’t nothing but media spin and boredom that makes this a Code Red. Next we’ll learn the mis-guided flying object didn’t have a properly functioning recovery system and caused a vehicular calamity at the end of the journey. Film at eleven.
I’m betting we hear something more along the lines of “ignorant rocketeer learns a lesson” if it ever gets that far. If there is no sensationalism in the conclusion, we will never hear a thing. Motors are available for anyone to buy from time to time, I bet that’s more along the lines of what happened. I bet the person never got it back either…….
Oh wait, it was really Osama hiding out in an empty salt dome that is used by the govt for crude oil storage, he stole the oil and is making the prices go up, then, saw launch logs from MHM and decided that was cool and came up with a plan to launch his first HP rocket and take out a plane at the same time…. Just so he could have top anyone else’s launch logs!
How’s that for a story????
Yeah, I know, time to get back to work… 😛
As far as im concerned and have been for some time news channels, magazines and newspapers have been the original “reality shows” (read as sarcastic / oxy-moron) of all time with the word of reality or even truth being far from any of it. All that matters is what they have to sell… not facts or news or even just a bit of truth or integrity. Just junk. I think I get more honest answers from car sales guys.
too much ignorance involved in this supposedly newsworthy scare
Hey, I resemble that remark! You’re right, just a gut reaction on my part, no brain involved. 🙄
We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
