Another NASA blunder.


This time they crashed a spacecraft into a satellite.


It damaged the spacecraft and nearly destroyed the out of service satellite.


Both items are now catapulting around the earth in wild orbits causing danger to our communications satellite system.


Just more million dollar NASA space junk.


It is called DART. That stands for Demonstration for Autonomous Rendezvous.


The accident has been investigated and the word is that this failure could be directly attributed to the management of the mission. There appeared to be a general lack of training and not much experience amongst the team which had been showered with money and advantage.


That’s about it for honesty, however, as NASA is refusing to release the full 70 page report.


They are saying that sensitive information is in the report that is protected by International Traffic in Arms Regulations.


The satellite they destroyed was operated by the Pentagon. NASA, which is supposed to be working on civilian space projects is apparently involved in military missions.


Keep in mind that the result of this failure was a successful impact with a military satellite.


This shot was managed from Marshall Space Center in Huntsville, Alabama and was built by Orbital Sciences Corp.


Orbital Sciences Corporation specializes in missile defense systems.

Their main offices are in Dulles, Virginia.


They are now trading on the New York Stock Exchange at nearly 16 dollars a share - up from 8 dollars a share last year.


Don’t expect to see that report.
