  2. You know how I was talking about how a kid at my school got hit by a truck on Wednesday? Well he's back at school today, he looks completely fine which is nice, but he walks a little differently now. Also, our school seems to have no luck with kids and cars, because a kid at our school unfortunately was in a car accident yesterday and died on his way to the hospital.

    There was nothing wrong with L3. All of the problems stemmed from the N1 rocket.

    If I remember correctly there were a lot of failures with the L3 on its test missions, there have been a few posts on those missions in this thread I'm pretty sure.

    2007: Walter Schirra, Jr. died. He flew on Mercury MA-8, Gemini 6, and Apollo 7. Spaceflight achievements were being one of the original Mercury 7, being the only astronaut to fly on Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo, being in the first crew to rendezvous in space, and being the Commander of the first crewed Apollo mission.

    1989: STS-30 and its crew of 6 launched into orbit on a 4-day mission. It deployed the Magellan Venus probe. Magellan was released on May 5. It arrived at Venus on August 10, 1990 and inserted itself into a polar orbit. Its primary objective was to map the topography of the planet.

    2003: After the failure of STS-107 Columbia, the shuttle fleet was grounded. Soyuz TMA-1 had to be used as a lifeboat for the ISS crew. It and its crew of 3 landed back at Earth.

    1961: Mercury MR-3 and its crew of Alan Shepard, Jr. was launched on a suborbital mission into space. It was the first ever American manned spaceflight. The flight lasted only 15 minutes. The highest altitude achieved was 115 miles and it was recovered successfully. Shepard could have launched on March 24 and beat Gagarin into space, but Wernher Von Braun suggested that one last test mission had to be launched first.

    First of all: where is the engine providing that huge plume?

    Second: Where are the fuel tanks? Is the fuel in the walls? Surrounding the crew? Is that not pretty dangerous?

    Third: How did the lady at the bottom get her head decapitated so smoothly, that she still looks alive?

    Fourth: Why is nobody wearing a spacesuit? I think they need at least a space uniform.

    I know right! I hate these kind of rocket drawings. Even little kids know there's no room for fuel! Just look at any real-life rocket, ANY ROCKET AT ALL, and tell me, does this look remotely similar in the slightest?!?! :mad: (Yes I am this mad)
