It was the Kennedy Space Center tour...about 4 hours. Private and completely segregated from the cattle like herding of the free tours. We were on a bus with maybe 20-30 people.

There is also a Cape Canaveral Tour but thats more about the history/launch pad visiting/older buildings, etc. Still very cool but we wanted the new stuff! Amazing trip I cant wait to go back.

This is a photo of the saftey system/nose cone of the Orion. The rocket was still being assembled in the Kennedy building

How many people died? Zero, as usually? Oh yes it was not Colombia or Challenger...

Clown, that was a cargo rocket. It doesn't has people on board and course it has no lifesaver systems. The unmanned satellites can be launched to the orbit even with (guess what?) ballistic rockets from cars. Because it's Russia, babe.



Yes, it's a commercial satellite (less than 1 minute for all). Just try to glue these phrases in your stupid american head: a car, a launch pad, an ICBM that can deliver a commercial satellite to the Earth's orbit (it may deliver a nuke, of course to every city on Earth).

You must be real stupid to underestimate Russian rocket technologies. They are the best in the world.

hmm... did the rocket make it to space?

No?

FAIL

I tried looking up this launch but couldn't find it due to too many results of failures. :(:helpme

No it doesn't. But the crew is alive. Next rocket will send them to the space station. No problem at all. This is not a car driving. This is a rocket technology and course there are incidents. The main thing there that the crew is safe.

Your astronauts are pussies and want to live while on earth. Our astronauts go out like warriors and live forever!!

Allahu Akbar!

lying piece of shit ruski.

So the American astronaut is "dead". Should I put here a requiem? :)

it's not a rocket failure if nobody dies!

jtfc fucking ruskis.

If this dude took the amount of effort he puts into American business, and diverted that energy towards his script...

50 cyber scripts that seo

Man, I'm doing it right now :winkwink:

Colombia and Discovery were the ones. Russian rocket systems are made to save people lives. Yesterday it has saved a life of an American guy. Why do you hate America so much?

in Soviet Russia, Cosmos visits YOU !!!

So the last Russian capsule have mysterious holes in it and this one has major malfunction in flight causing a aborted mission mid flight...

Something dont seem right in Russia's space program..


Oh and to the OP cosmonut. There wouldn't even be a International Space Station with out the Shuttle program.. Nothing else could have carried it into space..

I don't see any ruski billionaires making rocket ships like American billionaires do.

So why Americans billionaires use Russian rockets to send their astronauts (astronauts, lol a funny word, actually :1orglaugh) to the outer space?

Space X designed their own rockets, they arent russian...

\

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

ruski, that's what putin tells you on ruski tv.

Russia can't afford it so they're sabotaging it to get out of the joint international pact.

How many people were sent into space by the Space X program? What does Putin say you about it on Russian TV?

Dance ruski

Its slated to happen very soon. :thumbsup

how are those examples different again? What does our not having a rocket program have to do with cosmonauts deaths?

Stop drunk posting, you embarrass yourself when you do.

It's too bad the op had to weaponize a positive story and use it to attack Americans over the Shuttle tragedies.

You have attacked them. If you moron read my posts you will see that they were mentioned as examples of bad (to be honest absent) livesafe systems. The Russian rockets have them and your astronaut was saved. The guy is a alive and that made you mad. Why do you hate Americans, dude?

Just think - If it wasnt for the US tragedies none of the other programs would have the fail-safes and safety systems they have today.

The Russian rockets had it many years before. The first case has accrued in 70s (about 10 years before the Challenger catastrophe) and the crew was successfully catapulted.

Dance ruski

I'm a bit wrong it was in 1983: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyuz_7K-ST_No._16L

But still it was 3 years before the Challenger case. The Russian rockets were already equipped with livesafe systems. And as you can see they work well today.

Yes I'm sure neither country benefited in some way, shape, or form from these tragedies.

And the russians had 5 major accidents prior to the 71' on the "edge of space" which to me is close enough (330k ft)

ruski, we've had escape towers and other life saving systems on our rockets since Mercury.

amerikansky, first of all you have no relation to them. These were made by Nazis, headed by Wernher von Braun (educate yourself). The second thing they didn't work in the real life. Nazis have used americans like monkeys in their space programs. And you have no "Mercury" or anythings today. Wernher von Braun is dead, so you have to use Russian technologies only. Don't you really can accept that only Russia can put your astronauts into the outer space?

Only 2 fatal accidents during lauding.

5 fatal according to everyone else. One being a rapid decompression while in space.

here's the fucking math to settle this

Through the most recent mission, STS-130 in February 2010, the shuttle has taken 788 people to orbit. Fourteen astronauts lost their lives on Challenger and Columbia.

That's one shuttle fatality for every 56 people taken to orbit.

Soyuz has orbited 250 people, not including two successful aborts: Soyuz 18a in April 1975, which occurred late in a launch 90 miles high, and Soyuz T-10-1 in September 1983, on the launch pad. The program has suffered four fatalities: one on Soyuz 1 in April 1967, and the other three on Soyuz 11 in June 1971.

That’s one Soyuz fatality for every 63 people delivered to orbit.

that's not enough margin to use to attack Americans, ruski.

actually there were 5 more successful shuttle missions after that one. so that shuttle ratio drops

Please describe them (any links etc), because I know only 2. Don't shut your month up please - tell me about them all.

yup, so those flights add 35 more people so the ratio for the shuttle is

1 death for every 58 passengers

soyuz is

1 death for every 63 passengers.


eat shit ruski.

I didn't get it, but keep posting.
