Snagged the booster, lost the satellite

Show all headers | View raw

Despite their slow and steady approach, Blue Origin has had a launch 
failure, dropping AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird Block 2 FM2 into the 
initial orbit and losing power in the orbit raising burn.

But they did recover the other expensive part ... GS1-SN002 Never Tell 
Me The Odds  landed on the recovery ship Jacklyn, and this was actually 
the second time!  (And yes, this is the second Noogle booster to fly.)

but ask calmly, how does this person feel about in in his cooler 
moments next day, with six or seven thousand feet of snow and stuff on 
top of him?"
