NASA global warming satellite crashes after launch

LOS ANGELES ? A NASA mission to monitor global warming from space ended Tuesday when a satellite plunged into the ocean near Antarctica minutes after launch. An equipment malfunction was apparently to blame, officials said.

The loss of the $280 million mission came a month after Japan launched the world's first spacecraft to track global warming emissions. The failure dealt a blow to NASA, which had hoped to send up its own satellite to measure carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas behind human-caused global warming.

The crash came just after liftoff from the Vandenberg Air Force Base on California's central coast. A Taurus XL rocket carrying the Orbiting Carbon Observatory blasted off as scheduled shortly before 2 a.m.

Three minutes into the flight, the nose cone protecting the satellite failed to come off as designed, NASA officials said. The extra weight from the cover caused the rocket to dive back to Earth, splashing into the ocean near Antarctica, where a group of environment ministers from more than a dozen countries met Monday to get the latest science on global warming.

Either thats just a weird coincidence or maybe....... :evil:

It does seem suspicious. In other news, I am pretty sure there's a conspiracy involved at my office. My coworker moved into a cube nearby and meanwhile someone 2 floors up said they are retiring.

That's rich, considering the BS they pulled in planting their flag in the Arctic a number of months back.

No, it really isn't.

This is definitely "Get Smart" material

Max: Why did you shoot down our GW satellite?
Siegfried :We just warned you about militalising the Artic and you shoot up a spy satellite?
Max: Would you believe me if I said the satellite was going to monitor England?
Siegfried: No
Max:How about Antartica?
Siegfried: Oops

I just realized there was a conspiracy within a conspiracy. The global warming sattelite crashed near the meeting place....of....global warming scientists! Take THAT you environmentalists!

You should have pointed out that's what you were talking about in the first place.
