Blue Dildo

Watching the launch today, it appears Bezo's Blue Origin failed.

The women they had announcing it, could put a Redbull/Starbucks taste tester to sleep.

It occurred to me that rocket looks like a giant dildo. The capsule prematurely separated. Premature ejaculation of a rocket?

Both Bezo's and Nasa have egg on their faces. Failure to launch Nasa's Artimis and now Blue Dildo respectively. This bracketed by successful launches by Musk/SpaceX.

Eagerly waiting to see how the liberal media spins this one. If one were to watch coverage of last July/August explosion by a Musk prototype, it would leave the impression SpaceX was done for.

Listening to the announcer say today's rocket "appears to have experienced an anomaly" was humorous. It's like calling home to the spouse and saying "Your expensive car experienced an anomaly on the highway," after it being totalled.

I looked up video of the launch. I have to agree with that assessment.

On this I have to disagree. It looked to me like the main booster section of the rocket suffered a catastrophic failure before the crew capsule separated.

Could be. Call it explosive premature ejaculation. The end result is the same.

To the best of my knowledge (which is limited - saw a couple of articles on it), the capsule separation was automatically triggered based on diagnostics from the booster indicating some form of failure. The same sort of mechanism is used for the Crew Dragon's launch-failure separation system (tested, including the intentional destruction of the Falcon 9 booster, a few years ago).

If the diagnostics were wrong, it was premature. If they were correct, it was a timely eruption.

I didn't watch that launch attempt until just now.

The reaction is somewhat reminiscent of the Challenger accident when moments after the vehicle suffered a RUD.

NASA Public Affairs Officer Steve Nesbitt stated "Flight controllers here are looking very carefully at the situation. Obviously a major malfunction. We have no downlink."

At the time he was aware of the loss of signal from Challenger, but was not aware that the issue was far worse than he imagined.

So basically a jet powered Hitachi "Magic Wand"

But what happened to all those environmentalists screaming about air pollution? After all, the actual Hitachi is electric!

Their argument against that is the fuel is liqui hydrogen and liquid Oxygen. A bit of hypocrisy on their part given what a rocket does to the Ozone layer.

The capsule prematurely separated.

No, that was the 'oh, shit' system working like it was supposed to, to save the payload.

Working as designed or not, the appearance was a fiery premature event.
The failure of the new engine was most notable.
