Conrad73: good thing you are a Rocketscientist and know just how many things can go wrong with those Beasts!
i hear it was a russian made engine could be a conspiary theory there...having said the russians lauched there's without any problems same day, heading for the space shuttle orbiting earth
Curious how some of the stories don't even mention that the Antares was using an old Soviet-built engine from 40 years that has had problems like this before.
Did you also know it was from the 60's? Not designed in the 60's, MADE in the 60's and stored somewhere in Siberia for 50+ years. Oh well, at least now it's where it belongs, in the Atlantic Ocean just off the east coast.
