Title: Orbital Sciences' Antares rocket explodes seconds after liftoff

The spacecraft was carrying 1360 pounds (617 kg) of food for the astronauts on the International Space Shuttle

About six seconds after liftoff at 6:22 p.m. Eastern, the Antares rocket exploded in mid-air. Fortunately, no people were aboard and no one was injured.

The rocket is designed by Orbital Sciences Corporation, under a contract with NASA. It's a two-stage launch vehicle that can shepherd up to 6,120kg or about 13,500 pounds, to the International Space Station. The first launch took places from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia in April 21, 2013.

No personnel were in the area, and there appear only to be damages to today's launch site at Wallops and vehicles, according to the NASA livestream. The Antares rocket would have launched a Cygnus spacecraft to resupply the International Space Station; this would have been Orbital's third resupply mission. The rocket was carrying 1360 pounds (617 kg) of food for the astronauts aboard the ISS, as well as flight crew equipment, science equipment for the US and international science communities, spacewalk equipment and hardware. It's not yet clear what the backup plan for ferrying supplies to the astronauts is, or whether the botched resupply mission will mean they have to return to Earth early.

Below is another view, this one from bystanders:

Sad isn't? We can't even get rockets off the ground. I visited mission control south of Houston a few years back. Loads of immigrants running the site. Very smart immigrants but what happened to our national brain trust.

Old brain trust (and Nazis) either retired or died, new brain trust well good luck with that our schools aren't capable of producing one. Besides if they could they would be white and that isn't allowed either!

“When I became the NASA administrator, [President Obama] charged me with three things. One, he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math; he wanted me to expand our international relationships; and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math and engineering.”

I wonder how much technology they've stolen and sent back to the ME that will help them to build their own nuclear ICBMs?
