First orbital rocket launched from Europe falls to the ground after launching

[CrusaderFrank]

I guess the Germans should have stuck to their V-2 rockets. Sucks to be them, but it did make for a pretty cool video.

First orbital rocket launched from mainland Europe crashes after takeoff​

"A test rocket intended to kickstart satellite launches from Europe fell to the ground and exploded less than a minute after takeoff from Norway on Sunday, in what the German startup Isar Aerospace had described as an initial test.

The Spectrum started smoking from its sides and crashed back to Earth in a powerful explosion just after its launch from from the Andøya spaceport in the Arctic. Images were broadcast live on YouTube..."

Better to rent from Space X

The Nazi Musk is meanwhile only a living undead. If I would take a serios look at the finances of SpaxeX - and all other companies of Musk - would I find out that Musk only made money with public money? Looks like Elon Musk is a Scheinriese. (Sorry Mr. Tur Tur, I did not like to make you great.)

France has been launching orbital satellites from French Guiana for decades and decades. That’s why the European space agency is based there.

The closer to the equator a launch takes place, the easier the launch

That's another concept. By the way: This days the ESA did send Gaia into a graveyard orbit. Gaia was the most successful operation in space since space travel has existed. I'm sure you know nothing about Gaia or about the Japanese mission Hayabusa. "Your" world ends at the borders of the USA - whereever you will be on this planet. Outside of the neverending war in the USA exist for you only enemies.

We still watch Elon's rockets blowed up.

How did you get that from my post?

If he has, he gets results from it. Much more than the established defense companies have for the price.

You watch Starship in the testing phase. Today a Space X crewed Dragon is scheduled to launch with 4 people on it for a 3-to-5-day mission. It will be the first human crew to go into polar orbit. It is a private flight. The crewed Dragon is mated to the Falcon 9 rocket.

That sounds sane

Intuition. With Gaia ended one of the very best space projects. I find it interesting that the same time starts a new project to be realized. Like all real space projects it is a project full of hope and with an open end and an unknown result in this end. And I regret the extreme nationalism of US-Americans who often throw their own cultural heritage overboard. Then USA was not great because of nationalism - the USA was great because it was a bridge between the nations. And in the moment the USA is more or less the opposite of a bridge. Na ja - vielleicht kommt die USA ja in die Pubertät. Oh, sorry: Well - maybe the USA is entering puberty.

This is rocket development...

You build it fails, you learn from your failures and you build again...

Fucksake, this is how SpaceX does it...

Don't be afraid of failure....

So the OP is celebrating, the guys on this program have a lot of data to make it better...

What this headline could say, 'EU are starting live testing and look closer to independent space program'...

Eh? Do you like to say here Elon Musk could be something else than only a counterproductive idiot who uses ideas from the late 19th and early 20th century and sells it to be modern?

What do you expect from him? Being King Trump's drag carrier in US-Versailles? By the way: Donald Trump blackmails French companies in effect to betray their own fundamental values of freedom, equality and fraternity. He uses other words - but exactly this is it. The USA - on its own a child of the enlightenment - is really also at a crossroad to betray the own values. For what? Passengers in space ships? What could Jule Verne's Captain Nemo say to such a theme?
