This is just my opinion, but I think all this crap the space programs are shooting off into space is a total waste of money that could be much better spent on any number of things (research, healthcare, internet security). ESPECIALLY when they crash and burn. Why not just say effit.

Granted, they didn't with this article, but if they could have made Tom DeLay look good in this article, they would have.
I guess they figured that the original title of the article, "Russian Launch Failure Proves That the Evil Bush Haters Want to Destroy America", was too ridiculous even for Faux News fans. [Quietly holds blowtorch to Karma]
Past attempts to unfold similar devices in space have failed.
In 1999, Russia launched a similar experiment with a sun-reflecting device from its Mir space station, but the deployment mechanism jammed and the device burned up in the atmosphere.
In 2001, Russia again attempted a similar experiment, but the device failed to separate from the booster and burned in the atmosphere.
It's obvious that the Russians do not want this kind of technology in space...
I am going to start praying for Russian Cosmonauts in the future before any launches... they evidently don't have a prayer.

After all, in Soviet Russia, solar sails propel *YOU*! Err... same as everywhere else.

Someone should've told those jokers that there's no air in space.
I'm sick of seeing this tired, overused joke. It wasn't funny the first time, and it's not funny this time. Just stop it, all of you PLEASE.
