Things happen, that's the real world. Acknowledge it and move on, no need to stop and throw rotten food at some silly expression for some situation and end up showing hate, which is what those rotten food were for at the first place and making yourself look like the accused one.

Twisted logic?

"Wow, have a sense of humor. 100% of people died. It just so happens that in this case, the way they died is funny.

We all end up dead anyway, why don't you lighten up a bit?"

I wonder how this could've exploded. One of the reasons to go with a hybrid rocket motor is the relative safety of the components. You have the fuel grain, which has no internal oxidizer (and therefore will not detonate) and then you have the nitrous, which also will not detonate, but could explode just from pressure in the tank, just like any other compressed gas. What a tragedy.]]>Jul 27th 2007 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/deadly-blast-rocks-virgin-galactic-rocket-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/deadly-blast-rocks-virgin-galactic-rocket-test/Jul 27th 2007 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/deadly-blast-rocks-virgin-galactic-rocket-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/deadly-blast-rocks-virgin-galactic-rocket-test/
Yes, this is a tragic event and our deepest condolence should be going out to them, but at the same time it doesn't need to be repeated every after every fucking post.]]>Jul 27th 2007 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/deadly-blast-rocks-virgin-galactic-rocket-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/deadly-blast-rocks-virgin-galactic-rocket-test/

These people were living on the scientific frontier trying to expand the realm of our existence, i.e helping to develop society. Again, this is probably something you have never done nor will ever do, so I really don't expect you to understand.

Everyone dies, no one is arguing with you about that. But it is a shame that these people died in such a tragic way and while in the process of helping us to develop as a civilization. We should sit here and wish our best to their families and friends, not make jokes at their expense.

You need to grow the fuck up. Scientists and rockets will not make our lives any better whatsoever. You will still die, you will still rot, and you will still decompose in the same manor that we have been doing for millions of years.

2 people dying is NOT a big deal. A rocket exploding is NOT a big deal. Make light of the situation, and go on with your life. Getting all emo about it will not change the fact that they died, and it will not undo what was done. It helps no one, and just makes you look like a whiney little bitch.]]>Jul 27th 2007 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/deadly-blast-rocks-virgin-galactic-rocket-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/deadly-blast-rocks-virgin-galactic-rocket-test/
You are on the internet right? I would take a guess and say the reason for that is because you enjoy being on the internet, hence it makes your life better. You know who is responsible for the internet? Not jackasses like you, but scientists. So you have already contradicted yourself.

I'm in my 20's, maybe by the time I'm 60+, if I want to fly to Spain to visit my family, my commercial aircraft might possibly go into to orbit and travel at such rapid speeds that the time to go from the USA to Spain is drastically reduced. I feel like that would make my life better. And you know where the foundation for commercial space travel is coming from? From companies like this one. The people here who have died in this accident were working to make ideas such as the one I just talked about a reality.

So stop trying to defend yourself. You know you are wrong. You are just digging yourself a whole. And I would recommend just trying to be an all around better person from now on.

I would be the first to agree with your 'hey, everyone dies' statement, but to say that it doesn't matter that people die pisses people off.
People dieing always matters to someone, and respecting that person or those people, and the person who has died, is important.
The commercial rocket mission is an important one, unless you're planning on somehow driving the entire world economy by magic once we run out of non-renewable energy sources?]]>Jul 27th 2007 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/deadly-blast-rocks-virgin-galactic-rocket-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/deadly-blast-rocks-virgin-galactic-rocket-test/

As for the jokes, humor helps the grieving process, usually by personal friends and family memebers reflecting back on funny moments, or quirks of said departed. Being an A-hole helps no one.

i for one, am not willing to pay that price, this is why i work in an office building with soft chairs, a coffe maker within spitting distance, etc. I am not saying it would be more tragic if my office blew up and all of our employees died or were injured, but it would be far more shocking and unexpected...]]>Jul 27th 2007 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/deadly-blast-rocks-virgin-galactic-rocket-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/27/deadly-blast-rocks-virgin-galactic-rocket-test/
