NASA: Rocket probably in ocean after failed launch

Declines to release the full accident report, citing sensitive and
proprietary information.

Rat is smelled over the suspicious nature of launch failures, secrecy.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A rocket carrying an Earth-observation satellite is
in the Pacific Ocean after a failed launch attempt, NASA officials said
Friday.

The Taurus XL rocket carrying NASA's Glory satellite lifted off around
2:10 a.m. PST from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

During a news conference Friday officials explained that a protective
shell or fairing atop the rocket did not separate from the satellite as
it should have about three minutes after the launch. That left the Glory
spacecraft without the velocity to reach orbit.

NASA suffered a similar mishap two years ago when a satellite that would
have studied global warming crashed into the ocean near Antarctica after
launching from the same kind of rocket that carried Glory. Officials
said Friday that Glory likely wound up landing near where the previous
satellite did.

"We failed to make orbit," NASA launch director Omar Baez said Friday.
"Indications are that the satellite and rocket ... is in the southern
Pacific Ocean somewhere."

Had Glory reached orbit it would have been on a three-year mission to
analyze how airborne particles affect Earth's climate. Besides
monitoring particles in the atmosphere, it would also have tracked solar
radiation to determine the sun's effect on climate change.

Glory was supposed to study tiny atmospheric particles known as
aerosols, which reflect and trap sunlight. The vast majority occurs
naturally, spewed into the atmosphere by volcanoes, forest fires and
desert storms. Aerosols can also come from manmade sources such as the
burning of fossil fuel.

The $424 million mission is managed by the NASA's Goddard Space Flight
Center in Maryland.

Friday's launch came after engineers spent more than a week
troubleshooting a glitch that led to a last-minute scrub and two years
studying what went wrong with the 2009 mission that also crashed.

An accident board was formed to investigate and corrective action was
taken to prevent future problems. A duplicate is now scheduled to fly
from Vandenberg in 2013.

Investigators spent several months testing hardware, interviewing
engineers and reviewing data and documents. The probe did not find
evidence of widespread testing negligence or management shortcomings,
but NASA declined to release the full accident report, citing sensitive
and proprietary information.

This just in: Home Guy has been reported missing, and believed to be
somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. One of the cement shoes he was wearing
was hauled in by a fisherman.

From your lips to Guido's ears.

Probably part of the 9/11 cover-up. Thank goodness there are guys like you
to spot this stuff.

The cause of the failure of the mission was determined to be "climate
change". It prompted all the framistans to lose sync and fall out of
alignment which forced all of the command signals to introvert. :-(

That's just part of the vast climate change conspiracy, now they have
control of the Navy just as they've controlled NASA for years. It's
probably the Masons behind it somewhere, or maybe the Illuminati, or
somebody.
