Oops, guess ya can't win them all.

"The mission itself was shrouded in secrecy even before it failed to enter a stable orbit. The government agency that ordered the spacecraft has not been disclosed."

Let the conspiracy theories fly. I blame Trump and the Russians.

It's obviously the Illumina[hammer click]total coincidence...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

This was like a month ago...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

A Tesla Roadster heads off for Mars tomorrow . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I think enough has been revealed to strongly suggest it wasn’t the space X carrier rocket, but part of the secret payload responsible for final orbit insertion, that malfunctioned.

The space X heavy is the biggest kluge of a rocket since soviet union’s N-1 manned lunar rocket.   The N-1 never failed to fail during all of its launches. The N-1 failed because it had the same attribute as the space X heavy, which is it has an obscene number of individual rocket motors on the first stage. The failure of any of the motors was enough to lead to catastrophic failure.

Also, the breathless US news media claim that space X is the largest rocket other than Saturn V is untrue.  

The N-1 and the Energia, which were successfully launched in 1988, were much larger.

I watched it live. That monster was awesome. Were those the boosters that flew back and landed?
