Glory orbiter failed to separate, and with republicans in power in the house getting it funded again might take four years to relaunch the program. This is extremely lame.

Gravity is only a theory, and don't you dare call me a denialist for not believing it. I'm a skeptic!

A 400 million dollar gravity experiment that has been conducted twice now. The Orbiting Carbon Observatory failed 2 years ago also for the exact same reason. The payload fairing failed to separate.
