According to Jonathan's Space Report Number 563:
"It's been reported from Kwaj (kwajrockets.blogspot.com) that the payload fell back to Earth through the roof of SpaceX's machine shop." http://www.planet4589.org/jsr.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Er... ...old news, I fear - this is what the Falcon Blog (written as an 'unofficial' record by Elon Musk's brother) had to say:
"Saturday, March 25, 2006 Someone's looking out for that satellite... The team is on Omelek collecting debris. The rocket impacted on a dead reef about 250 ft away from the launch pad, so most of it is recoverable for analysis. Amazingly, the satellite was thrown high into the air when the rocket impacted and came crashing down through the roof of our machine shop, landing mostly intact on the floor! One helluva' return trip. The hole in the machine shop roof is the only significant damage to the island." http://kwajrockets.blogspot.com/ -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!
