JUST LEAKED: SpaceX MAJOR FAIL by hero ELON MUSK with Dragon's Escape Rocket Engines VIDEO | |
| BREAKING LEAKED VIDEO User ID: 77431579  Netherlands05/02/2019 03:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.theatlantic.com (secure)] SpaceX’s Unnerving Silence on an Explosive Incident less than 50% A failed test of the Dragon spacecraft could derail plans to launch NASA astronauts into space. The smoke was visible for miles. The day, April 20, was sunny on the Florida coast, with few clouds. The plumes, thick and glowing orange, rose over the horizon and crawled across the sky. Beachgoers stopped to stare. A photographer for Florida Today, on assignment to cover a surf festival, turned the lens away from the waves and snapped some pictures: [link to www.floridatoday.com (secure)] The ashy clouds were coming from Cape Canaveral. The only time you want to see smoke wafting from that vicinity, the site of historic space launches, is after a successful liftoff—and there were no rockets in the sky that day. The smoke turned out to be from a failed test of a SpaceX spacecraft designed to carry humans to orbit. Strapped to a test stand so it couldn’t fly away, the capsule had ignited its engines. “The initial tests completed successfully, but the final test resulted in an anomaly on the test stand,” SpaceX said in a statement at the time.  |
| BREAKING LEAKED VIDEO (OP) User ID: 77431579 Netherlands05/02/2019 03:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.liveleak.com (secure)] The video that Elon Musk DOESN'T want you to see. Failed test of Dragon's Escape Rockets. Shortly after this video leaked, NASA imposed a full media lockdown and threatening all employees that they will be fired if they post any videos/photos of this huge fuckup. An internal memo to some workers at NASA's Kennedy Space Center is warning that employees could be fired for sharing images after a video of SpaceX's Crew Dragon explosion leaked online last week, according to a report from the Orlando Sentinel. The memo, which was sent to NASA contractors under specific contract, also confirms that SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule did explode — something SpaceX and NASA have not publicly confirmed — during an April 20 abort system test, the Orlando Sentinel reported. On April 20, the company tested the capsule's SuperDraco escape engines, which are designed to get astronauts out of harm's way in the event of a launch emergency, at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. A video of the failed engine test was leaked on Twitter, and suggests that the capsule exploded; other coverage showed large plumes of smoke in the skies above the Florida coast. Apparently, Elon Musk only wants you to see the stuff that makes him look good.  |
