Firefly Aerospace's Alpha Rocket Fails, Sends Satellite Falling Into Ocean - Slashdot

Firefly Aerospace's sixth Alpha rocket launch failed on April 29, 2025, after an upper-stage anomaly prevented a Lockheed Martin satellite demo from reaching orbit. Both the stage and payload fell into the Pacific Ocean near Antarctica. Space.com reports: The two-stage, 96.7-foot-tall (29.6 meters)...

We've arranged a #society based on #science and #technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of #ignorance 🙈 and #power 💪, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a #democracy ✅ if the people don't know anything about it ? https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan#Quotes

Ah, the classic tale of over-engineering! 🚀🔧 Who knew that peeing without making a splash required a PhD in rocket science and a JavaScript-enabled browser? 🤖💦 Maybe next, we'll need calculus to tie our shoes. 😂👟

🚀 So, you're telling me the #amateurs with their heads in the clouds attempted rocket science and discovered gravity? 🤦‍♂️ Apparently, assembling a pile of fireworks and expecting it to defy #physics was the plan. Spoiler: it didn't. 🌟
