Ariane, Falcon 9, Hyperbola Rockets All Suffer Failures In Space - Deep Space Updates 17th July

Falcon 9 is the biggest surprise, and has the potential to make a big impact on launch schedules since so many payloads depend on it. But it may be allowed to return to flight given its long string of successful launches.
Elsewhere, 15 year old Radar data is used to show that a big hole in the moon may lead to lava tubes. Kazakhstan signs up for China's lunar base and all the small rocket companies show off new rocket engines being tested.

We now have the answer to the question: "why do we need a flight termination system for a static test?"
-
Funny how even after thousands and thousands of years, humans still look at caves and think "home".
-
There's the old saying "Anything that is not nailed down is mine; anything that can be pried loose is by definition not nailed down". Now there's "Anything that is not bolted down is flight-capable; anything that can work itself loose from its clamps is by definition not bolted down".

OK I spit my drink at the "first word problem". Nicely done.

Glad to hear a comment on the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. It would be a true shame to have a functioning space telescope canceled because of budget issues and not actual hardware issues.
-
I remember previous instances when there seemed to be clusters of unrelated launch failures, the first half of 1986 comes to mind, and there was a similar period in the late 90's.

We have seen the Ariane 6 APU failture from Győr, Hungary. We were at the Hungarian Asztronautical Scosiety's Space Camp. We were watching the stars that night. It looked amazing!

Moon caves. For when caves here on earth aren’t dangerous enough for you.

Roscosmos was most-accurately evicted for failing to pay rent and otherwise abide the terms of their lease

"All was going well until it exploded." -some dude on the Internet 😁😁🤘🤘

4:20 what a crazy trackingshot
-
great to hear they said don't shut down Chandra!

You forgot to mention on Jul 3rd Poland went into space using Bursztyn (Amber) rocket launched from Norway and reached 100+ km altitude.
-
Another difference between rockets and ICBMs that contribute to price is that a rocket needs to be in a sound state or launch through a short period of time, while an ICBM needs to sit ready and in mechanically sound condition for decades (honestly in the hope it NEVER launches).
-
Ariane demonstrated the ability to put stuff into orbit just fine. The problem was on the third engine light up which was supposed to deorbit the second stage, along with the reentry payloads. Still disappointing, but no concerns about the upcoming launches in the near future.

Thanks for all the updates, Scott! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Excellent update! Thank you SO much!

Starliner is just the newest ISS module.

Oh my god.. Oh my god I can't believe my eyes. I used to watch your old KSP videos all the time and now you appeared in my recommended feed after.. god.. what 8 or 9 years now?? I'm really happy to see you're doing well!!

I think the Ariane 6 upper stage engine failed when it was supposed to fire a 3rd time, not 2nd
