Vanguard TV3 (TV3 as in Test Vehicle Three) ... made it about 4 feet up.  The Vanguard TV3 satellite survived the explosion being thrown some distance ... damaged but still intact and functional.  It is now at the Smithsonian.

Orbital Sciences Antares, launching Cygnus ORB-3 to ISS with logistical payloads.

 

Launch site: Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) at  Wallops Island, Virginia

 

40+ year old surplus Russian NK-33 rocket engines, originally designed as an upgrade for the N1's NK-15 engines. Poorly stored etc. then some debris in a propellant line sealed its fate. Orbital then moved on to new RD-181 engines.

Happened today ...

 

"The launch of what would have been Japan’s first privately developed rocket to reach outer space failed Saturday after it burst into flames just seconds after liftoff from Hokkaido."

Looks like you guys have covered the main ones.

 

While I was looking for a particular one, I came across this "rocket attack failure. It is a bit off topic but worth it...just turn down the "chant tunes"

 

I laughed so hard..I was hoping there was a series on this.

 

This is an ISIS propaganda video on launching small hand rockets. It immediately reminded me of the three stooges and there leader as a multi personality enthusiast with a glued on plaid beard.

 

This is so bad/funny that I have a hunch that this must have been staged...this is just too funny to be real.

Anyway, it is a Dutch spoof vid warning people to securely mount launch installations for fireworks 💥

That was a hilarious spoof...know of any more.....(taps fingers in anticipation)....

Space startup Astra's failed attempt yesterday ...

 

 

 

Have to hand it to their flight guidance ... rocket was going sideways (due to an engine failure...you can see a small explosion at the base popping off a covering) ... but still managed ~30 km in altitude before they sent the flight termination command.

 

...another angle...

 

 

Edit:

 

Scott Manley got jokes...

 

 

 

1997: Delta 2 rocket GPS-II satellite launch, one of the biggest exp!onions at Cape Canaveral. 

 

A solid booster blew, taking out the other solids and triggering a self-destruct at 1600 feet. With Challenger, a good example why solid boosters are a bad idea for crewed vehicles. Burning solid rocket fuel fragments scorched the entire area.

 

 

Another one ... startup Firefly Aerospace suffered a spectacular RUD yesterday.  Appears that the rocket started to go out of control and the self-destruct command was sent (I'm assuming, or it broke apart and exploded)

 

 

 

 

Around the 2:20 mark

U.S. Space Force Delta 30 at Vandenberg SFB sent the flight termination command.

    • The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.
    • Hello, Installed here without issue. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
