"Years ago if there was a launch failure it might impact rates across the board," he said. "I don't see it in the near future. It would have to be a big one to scare underwriters out of the business." As long as there is excess capital seeking high returns feeding into the marke...
Highlighting just how challenging it is to develop such technology, Interstellar Technologies has so far suffered two rocket launch failures. Out of two rocket launches. Fortunately, the rockets were unmanned and no one has been injured during the failed efforts. ...
First, let’s absorb the challenge at hand. It’s often said that space is hard. To this day, only a few hundred people have been in space, only a few countries have the ability to launch something into space, and the history of human space travel is littered with tragic launch failu...
Previous chapter: First launch of the N1 rocket Escape rockets fire at the top of the doomed N1 No. 5L vehicle, as it begins a devastating collapse back to its launch pad just moments after liftoff.Second mission of the N1 rocket (No. 5L) at a glance (537):...
The first stage of a North Korean rocket apparently exploded Tuesday (Nov. 21) during a purported spy satellite launch, a new video suggests. A camera at South Korea's Yonsei University, usually used for tracking meteors or shoo...
As I mentioned above, the weather cooperated and no other serious failures popped up on launch day. In addition to good luck, I'd like to think at least some of the success lies with the extensive testing that I performed prior to launch and over the past few years. Tests included compo...
Japan’s space program has been marred by recent failures. In February, the H3 rocket launch was aborted for a glitch. Liftoff a month later succeeded, but the rocket had to be destroyed after its second stage failed to ignite properly. ...
Even over the full history of Soyuz rockets, failures have not resulted in any fatalities during launch, he added. The two other serious launch incidents occurred in 1975 and 1983, respectively. The 1975 failure "was probably the most dangerous one," Siddiqi said, "because they had to endure...
Cameron County — the Texas county that encompasses Starship’s launch site — opened the single road that runs out to SpaceX’s launch facility and the public beaches shortly after launch. It was a quick turnaround for the county, which left the roads closed significantly longer after the in...
