What Are The Odds ??

WASHINGTON (AP) — A rocket carrying an Earth-observation satellite plummeted into the Pacific Ocean after a failed launch attempt Friday, the second-straight blow to NASA’s weakened environmental monitoring program.

The Taurus XL rocket carrying NASA’s Glory satellite lifted off early Friday morning from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, but fell to the sea several minutes later. The same thing happened to another climate-monitoring satellite two years ago with the same type of rocket.

This story was mentioned by Rush Limbaugh today and is showing up on Michelle Malkin's website too. Limbaugh gave the cost of this rocket/satellite loss at $424 million each. That's $848 million, almost a billion dollars for these two NASA satellite failures whose mission was monitoring global warming.

It's easy to simply claim hardware technical failure, but allow me ask a what if. What if somebody in NASA and the Obama regime didn't want these satellites sending back data. Data which would discredit the global warming hoax? $848 million is nothing to sneeze at, and if sabotage was the purpose then I'll leave it to you to decide a fitting punishment for whom ever was responsible for this criminal act.

Vandeberg AFB and Patrick AFB send up about 25 satellites a year. Catastrophic failure isn't a frequent event anymore, these Delta IV launches are pretty routine. Two failures in two years, both carry global warming sats? What are the odds ????

  1. Steve. You ask: "What are the odds?" I'd say that they are the SAME as the odds that a steel and concrete 47 floor skyscraper would collapse into its footprint in 7 seconds -- as happened to the WTC Building #7. And, THREE buildings collapsed into their footprints on the SAME day! What ARE THE ODDS?

    What are the odds that a twin engine jumbo jet would discard ONE ENGINE four miles BEFORE it hit ground and have the crash attributed to a failed high-jacking where the pilot lost control?

    What are the odds that another person with, (at best), dual citizenship who hates capitalism, non Muslims, whites and the middle class, will ever again be elected President of the USA?

    What ARE the odds?
