Part of the game. Just reminds you there is nothing 'routine' about space no matter how 'routine' it begins to look.

The one who are doing "LOL" at other's hard work going in flames are the biggest LOSERS......

I am not talking about this incident, but we have no right to do a "LOL" when several scientists hard work was involved in this project.

& I would have written the same if it was a Russian Rocket.

Mistakes do happen...this *is* rocket science.

This shows how complex the industry is, that even after years of success and experience, things do go wrong, not good to laugh at it.

There is nothing funny about it... NASA already proved its capabilities and have a huge of amount budget to tolerate such unlucky incidents but probably russia couldn't... Usa still leads the way and the rest follow

There is nothing funny in it..especially for someone with a Russian flag

The first stage of the Antares rocket uses two Aerojet AJ-26 engines, which are modified Soviet-built NK-33 engines. As Orbital has little experience with large liquid stages and LOX propellant, some of the Antares first stage work was contracted to designers of the Zenit series of Rockets. The core provided by Yuzhnoye includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware...
