If you take this as a flame, then you're even more sensitive than I. :) I too find it a little disturbing that ex-loral employees are coming forward with damaging statements like this. Certainly any large company is going to have those who weren't gruntled enough, but if there are enough of them and they say very damaging things to the media or under oath, this could be bad. For the first time last night, I considered the possibility that maybe Loral gave significant technology and that there might be serious repercussions. (To quote the last star trek movie: "For how long did you consider it?". "0.2 seconds, but for an android, that is an eternity.") Dragonfly

Yoa, guys! rocket explosions are very impressive! I have been privy to some and they are neat (unless you have a financial interest in the rocket or payload) The poor Long march just cleared the pad superstructure before it healed over and went to never never land. The fact it was a night launch must have made the resulting explosion all the more impressive. Why in the world would that statement bother you? It does not say anything other than it was a pretty big boom. Dont read too much into it. Jeff Vayda
