Russian Space Program FAIL

Times of London:

An unmanned Russian rocket crashed spectacularly this morning moments after lift-off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Russian media reported no injuries but the value of the loss of the three Glonass navigation satellites that the rocket was carrying is estimated at about $200m (£130m). The cost to the already damaged reputation of Russia’s space programme may prove even greater.

Probably not a good look for your $200 million dollar rocket to explode moments after launch.  Aren't these the same guys who were going to put Lance Bass into space? Too bad that never worked out...
