Is it still funny now?
I don't get it either. It's strange what people find funny.

What's so funny about this?

No wonder our country has serious issues. Bunch of losers think failure is a joke.

Why is this in the Politics and Controversies forum? Nothing controversial or political about the explosion.

Speaking as someone who spent almost 2 decades in the space biz, it's painful to see something like this happen. Lofting a satellite that weighs a ton into a precise orbit is an engineering marvel. There are literally millions of lines of code, miles of wiring, tremendous pressures and intense heat, cold and radiation that have to be overcome. It's a testament to engineers worldwide that we don't have more catastrophic failures. As we speak, SpaceX will be gathering data, assembling investigation teams and rewriting procedures to determine the cause of the failure and ensure that it doesn't happen again.

Keep 'em flying, SpaceX!

Yeah..let's mock attempting to be great..because it might tarnish your world view if something wonderful, or even marvelous happens..instead of doom and gloom.
