Okay. No wonder aliens won't land.

This is a story about a $200 million + satellite that got dropped during a routine move. According to the story, the crew moving the satellite didn't see the support bolts missing because another crew had removed the bolts in an earlier operation.

Would YOU wanna go into space?

I feal sorry for them they must wanna suicide now

Telling the story would be a laugh after a few beers :1orglaugh

You know what?

I would.

Shit if you're gonna die might as well be with a payload like that strapped to your ass, or looking out the window of Apollo 13 freezing to death while eyeing earth.

Shit, I'll probably die from a heart attack sitting on the toilet...just not as glamorous.

I use to work on some scales at Lockheed, for testing cables they used to lift rockets with, Big dam scales (capacity wise). One crane company dropped one once. :1orglaugh

I bet if the clerk at the grocery store that accepted the 200.00 bill read this he/she wouldn't feel so bad..

Fucking Lockheed, thats what happens when you hire highschool dropouts at 6.00/hr :)

hehe
