Dropping it would make a good owned picture

[Baal]

I don't think this is all that funny...it sucks

Poor guys...I just hope they knew the chances of that happening when they made it...

All that work for...nearly nothing.

Plus the money.

Yeah, I have to agree with you. NASA is a great bunch of people, but they've been in the hotseat for a while now, it'd be sad to see them go down or something like that.

Yeah, you're right. But like all things, you can laugh or cry. Though I suspect the laughing should be withheld until a alter date. One day though...One day people will look back at this and laugh....Those people will probably be Russians, but people none the less

 

[Sgt_Shellback]

When the Sunflower that grows at that spot comes in full bloom it's time to laugh.

 

[Immortal]

LOL!! i can see it now
*screen blurs and flashes back to 2001*
"Right andy is that everything now?"
"yup"
"ok i'll just send it away, hope it works!"
*andy looks at ground and sees parachute* do'h!!
*sreen blurs again and comes back to the present*

ah yes. :upstare:

 

[lePobz]

Theiving pikey aliens intercepted the craft and nicked its parachutes - they replaced them with a couple of bricks

NASA should equip all unmanned crafts with anti-pikey devices.

 

[Beast206]

Or convince a group of teenagers that they're beta testing the newest space exploration game. Give them some coordinates, a joystick, and a bunch of carbonated beverages, and snack foods and let them have at. You'd see some strange results though.

 

[lePobz]

I beta tested Eve. I lasted precisely 10 seconds (the time it took to realise I had guns, and that I could turn and face the space station I'd just come from)

I wouldn't let kids loose with expensive equipment

 

[Beast206]

Well, lePobz, it couldn't be much worse than the latest attempt. Besides, if you ever watched some of these kids doing stunts in various games, I think they could have caught the damn thing parachute or no!

 

[oldagerocker]

Lol, i just heard on the radio that it landed in Utah, at 200mph... rofl !!! 'ave it NASA. So much for their supercomputers and all that...

yeah ok im slow.. im so sorry. :stare:

200? I thought terminal velocity was 180 :|

 

[Varsity]

Someone else can add the text.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

200? I thought terminal velocity was 180 :|

Its probably different when you fly in from outside the atmosphere. In space, the craft often fly at incredible speeds really.

 

[Neutrino]

Yes, because it might still have been losing speed even when it hit the ground.

Also, terminal velocity is different for every object. It's simply the speed when the drag force is equal to gravitational force on the obejct. A feather might only have a terminal velocity of .1 m/s.

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Well, did the container holding the expensive sun crystals or whatever survive impact?
Perhaps not all is lost.

 

[Parrot of doom]

The important thing is to examine it and find out why the chute failed to deploy. That information in itself may yield more important information than the particles it was collecting (for future missions).

What, a wad of misplaced gum?

 

[staddydaddy]

I heard that the thing had a parashoot and it didnt deploy therefore making it practically impossbile for the helos to catch.

 

[Fender357]

This is my first one..... done quick to keep with the times

Right Way.... Wrong Way...


I hope you like....


I'll make the cliched(sp?) Owned soon.

 

[Fender357]

My second work of art....

Now Owned

 

[Fender357]

And now.... My last one.....

Lots Of Work

 

[AudioRage]

They are saying the parachute didn't deploy because of a battery that overheated shortly after takeoff.

 

[Varsity]

Well, here's my 'attempt'.

 

[Baal]

I still don't know why they didn't drop it into the ocean.

Unless like someone may have said...it could leak or something.

But just say...as a precaution?

Although...it was traveling at 190 Mph...

Damn, the water may as well be concrete at that speed right?

 

[Varsity]

Damn, the water may as well be concrete at that speed right?

Plus it would have sunk to the bottom in an instant.

You're right.

The sand there would have been less destructive than hitting water... At those speeds water might as well be a sheet of steel.

 

[ferd]

well ye, I think they should've figured out a better way though...all that money has literally been wasted now...
