While the Ares I-X was technically a success, there was a bit of damage to both the pad and solid rocket booster. According to NASASpaceFlight.com's L2 section the vehicle actually was supposed to launch at a bit of an angle to help it clear the Fixed Service Structure or FSS. The known downside of this was a couple of seconds of the massively hot Ares first stage exhaust hitting the FSS. While we were speculating about the apparent angle at liftoff during our live coverage, that was in fact planned but did damage pad 39B in the process.While the Ares I-X was technically a success, there was a bit of damage to both the... more

North Korea launched a long-range rocket on Sunday that passed over Japan, the government in Tokyo said, defying calls from world leaders to scrap a plan that has caused international alarm.
The U.S. State Department confirmed North Korea had launched the rocket but had no further details. South Korea's presidential Blue House would make a statement at 11:00 p.m. EDT, local TV said.
Japan said the rocket's second booster stage had splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, indicating the launch had been successful.
"The projectile launched from North Korea today appears to have passed over toward the Pacific," the Japan prime minister's office said in a statement.
The United States, South Korea and Japan say the launch is actually the test of a Taepodong-2 missile, which is designed to carry a warhead as far as Alaska.
U.S. President Barack Obama said on Friday the international community would take action if North Korea went ahead with the launch to show Pyongyang it could not act with impunity.
Sunday was the second day in the April 4-8 timeframe the secretive North, which tested a nuclear device in 2006, had set for the launch. In its only previous test flight, in July 2006, the Taepodong-2 blew apart about 40 seconds after launch.
The first rocket booster stage appeared to drop into the Sea of Japan, an estimated 280 km (170 miles) west of the northern Japan coast, the prime minister's office said in a statement.
The second piece appeared to fall into the Pacific Ocean around 1,270 km (790 miles) east of Japan, it said.North Korea launched a long-range rocket on Sunday that passed over Japan, the... more
