All Pain, No Glory...

For the second time, an Orbital Sciences Taurus failed to shed its aeroshroud after launch, thus sending a $424 Million environmental satellite crashing into the Pacific Ocean.

First was the OCO (Orbiting Carbon Observatory), back in 2009. This morning, it was the Glory mission.

Any Launch that CRASHES any tree-hugger satellite into the ocean, I call a GOOD Launch !!!

That's all GLORY and NO pain !
NONE of that $424 million better have been taxpayer dollars wasted. Even if it worked, it is a waste !
