Elon Musk Called The Antares Rocket A 'joke' 2 Years Before It Exploded
by Wochit 0:52 mins
An Orbital Sciences rocket operating under a NASA contract exploded shortly after launch on Tuesday evening, much to everyone's surprise, except for perhaps Elon Musk. The SpaceX CEO trashed Orbital Sciences for using outdated Russian engines during a 2012 Wired interview, saying "One of our competitors, Orbital Sciences, has a contract to resupply the International Space Station, and their rocket honestly sounds like the punch line to a joke. It uses Russian rocket engines that were made in the ’60s." The Antares rocket was carrying a Cygnus spacecraft that was supposed to deliver supplies to the International Space Station on a routine mission. The exact cause of the explosion is still unknown.
