Orbital Creationism Raptures

"NEW YORK (AP) -- Orbital Sciences says it will likely stop using the type of engines that were employed when its unmanned Antares commercial supply rocket bound for the International Space Station exploded moments after liftoff last week.

The company says its investigation of the crash is continuing, but preliminary results point to a failure in one of its two main engines involved in the first stage of launch. Orbital says it still plans to fulfill its contract with NASA to deliver all remaining cargo to the Space Station by the end of 2016.

The engines involved are liquid oxygen and kerosene-fueled AJ26 engines made by Aerojet Rocketdyne. The engines were originally designed and produced during the Soviet era in Russia, though modifications have been made."

Thats why they call it Rocket SCIENCE.

Lets see, some ancient Russian engines that had been hanging around in a
warehouse for nearly half a century gave trouble, and turned out not to
be such a bargain after all....

Who could have predicted something like that?

I read the story as: its a old (proven) russian design, and newly made by Aerojet Rocketdyne in California

Well the latest news said that in fact the rockets were 40 YEARS OLD with some minor refurbishment. Fixy Schwinn 10 speeds are OK for riding around Brooklyn, but Rooskie Fixy rockets shouldn't be used to get to low earth orbit.
