What if Hitler invented the BMW i3 Subcompact Electric car?

NBC News posted:

"During the test. the vehicle suffered a serious anomaly resulting in the loss of the vehicle," the company said in a statement. "The WhiteKnightTwo carrier aircraft landed safely. Our first concern is the status of the pilots, which is unknown at this time."

Two pilots fly in SpaceShipTwo's cockpit during a test. Those pilots are equipped with parachutes, and after the anomaly, at least one chute was reportedly sighted over the Mojave Air and Space Port in California, the base from which SpaceShipTwo and its WhiteKnightTwo carrier plane took off.

Photographer Ken Brown, who was covering the test flight, told NBC News that he saw a midflight explosion and later came upon SpaceShipTwo debris scattered across a small area of the desert.

RIP Spaceship.

Well now I hope everyone will learn that spaceflight is just TOO dangerous. Stick to normal, safe methods of transport like boats, airplanes and cars. You never see tragedies like this with those.

quote:

CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said.

Quest was initially busted for loitering, the source said. Aside from the oddly configured rope, the search also turned up a sex toy inside of his boot, and a small bag of methamphetamine in his left jacket pocket.
It wasn't immediately clear what the rope was for.

lol.

It's weird how much "anti-space people" are a thing. Like space really pisses off your sort. You don't mind millions spent on finding out new flavors of Mountain Dew but the moment anyone does something in space it's a waste or something? Or is it just a role of the dice pet hate?

Myself, I can't stand LED research. loving stupid tiny lights. Faggots.
