I'd rather them fail at making progress than to make no attempt at all.
NASA suffered a similar mishap two years ago when a satellite that would have studied global warming crashed into the ocean near Antarctica after launching from the same kind of rocket that carried Glory. Officials said Friday that Glory likely wound up landing near where the previous satellite did.

And I'd rather they let their HUGE funding go towards something that benefits those who really need it down here on this ball of dirt.
Damn scientists and soldiers, self perpetuating meddlers.

Why is it people always want to talk about NASA failures and yet they don't care about the success stories.
Sucks this didn't go up but sometimes things just happen. You have any idea what is involved when launching these things?
