As proven repeatedly, readers of No Pasaran are amongst the best on the web. As such, collective expertise is required on the following
article:
The centrepiece satellite of Nasa’s $280 million climate-change mission crashed into the sea near Antarctica today after a launch failure, delivering a blow to the agency's attempts to understand global warming.
The carbon dioxide-monitoring satellite was fired on a rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, but after blasting through the Earth’s atmosphere it fell short of its orbiting height and plummeted back towards the sea.
The orbiting carbon observatory (OCO) satellite was designed to map carbon dioxide on Earth to provide an important step forward for scientists attempting to understand climate change.
Had this incident occurred in relationship to the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") what would the collective reax from the media be? All submissions welcome.
