We were talking about this a little while ago. Here they were gonna pull this somewhat risky mid air catch thing and then the chute didn't even open and it just slammed itself into the desert floor.

It's a complete let down. I want my tax dollars back.

Damn the chute didn't even slopw that shit down.

It was a 3 year mission, so not only did we lose $260 Million, but now we have to spend another $260+ million and WAIT 3 years!!

Will that goddamned X-Prize generate a private space industry already?

Highly doubtful.

And since I'm running a non MS operating system I can't even watch the video on the MSN site.

But I can click and win an iPod from Verizon! :rolleyes:

Why not? The video is SWF.
