It's how we cope. Unless you're going to go up there in your rocket, find the thing and put it in the right slot, I'm guessing we're not far off in assuming the worst.
What's happening with the Sat Launch?

What else are we going to talk about to stay on topic? We dont know anything else. We cant keep saying "this sucks". Likely discussion now is what can be done in the event this bird is all lost, as it seems.
OK, OK, but why not just "Open a new thread and post all your suggestions and personal plans how to make Dish better." ?!

Give us some news then. Right now we are just holding on waiting for someone to give us something official. Personally I think that speculation has everything to do with the loss of the satellite. It also helps us cope. That and alchohol..

Great logic there! This thread is amazing, you guys sound like you lost your dogs.
Rocket failures while unfortunate do happen, it's the nature of the beast, that is why the sats are insured.
Don't gloat yet.. You guys have one going up on Monday. You might give it bad karma.
Agreed. However, insurance can only replace the sat and launch years down the road. Having money is nice, but when you need a sat, it's more like a curse of dollar bills..
Yep and SeaLaunch blew one too last year. Last year was bad for the private launch folks, thats for sure.
Not much difference in blowing up on the pad and not making it into orbit. Both are useless.
Made a difference because Sea Launch had to clean up the mess on the pad.. But yeah as far as the mission went the end result was about the same.
Had it launched and failed then the repairs to the platform would've taken less time.
