Not sure I'm following. You believe this rocket failure had something to do with Muslims? Or with budget cuts? Please note that the cuts started many years ago (http://www.shortnews.com/start.cfm?id=4031), and the first four launches of this rocket type were successful (as your own cite confirms), so I don't see any connection between budget cuts and this particular failure, though I personally disagree with the cuts. Also, the US has been cooperating with the Soviets/Russians for many decades (http://www.nasa.gov/50th/50th_magazine/coldWarCoOp.html), and they have been in space longer than us.This administration has gutted NASA to the point they can't even engineer their own rockets anymore. How's NASA's mission to reach out to Muslims working out?

It was fairly dark, but the rocket only got a few hundred feet off the ground before exploding. Only people in the local area would have seen the fireworks show. Maybe some old Russian made rocket motors to blame?Really sorry I didn't pay attention and watch for this. Was it too light still at 6:19 to really see anything from the NE?
Kinda hard to test a controlled explosion.It was fairly dark, but the rocket only got a few hundred feet off the ground before exploding. Only people in the local area would have seen the fireworks show. Maybe some old Russian made rocket motors to blame?
Thought strikes me: I wonder how many dangerous duds like this we're keeping in silos out west as part of our very old nuclear ICBM aresenal:flame:
Thank god the TP made it.You guys do realize that the Russians launched a successful mission to bring supplies to the space station today don't you?
