WASHINGTON (AP) -- A rocket carrying an Earth-observation satellite plummeted into the Pacific Ocean after a failed launch attempt Friday, the second-straight blow to NASA's weakened environmental monitoring program.
The Taurus XL rocket carrying NASA's Glory satellite lifted off early Friday morning from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, but fell to the sea several minutes later. The same thing happened to another climate-monitoring satellite two years ago with the same type of rocket.
NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory, a new satellite dedicated to mapping Earth's carbon dioxide levels, crashed into the ocean near Antarctica just after launch Tuesday when a shroud designed to protect the spacecraft accidentally doomed its mission.
The glitch occurred just minutes after the $280 million spacecraft blasted off at 4:55 a.m. ET atop a Taurus XL rocket launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

Paranoid delusion runs deep on ATS, but then I should probably get used to it.
1. Government sprays us with chemtrails.
2. Government launches a mission that could disprove chemtrails.
3. Government realises how silly that would be, and sabbotages their own mission.

4. So blow up an empty rocket with NO satellite, and you have $500Mil for Black OPs
