Description:
On May 3, 1986, NASA attempted to launch a new weather satellite called GOES-G for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, but the rocket malfunctioned in mid-air. <br/><br/>About a minute after it lifted off from Cape Canaveral, lightning struck the Delta rocket and created a short circuit. This caused the rocket's main engine to shut down prematurely. It started tumbling around in the sky with some of its strap-on boosters still firing. NASA sent the rocket a command to self-destruct, and it exploded above the Atlantic Ocean. They did this to minimize the dangers of having the entire rocket crash back down to Earth. This launch failure was especially disheartening for NASA, because it was the first launch since the Challenger disaster three months earlier. Investigators found that this Delta rocket had a lot of problems that were known before the launch, especially with the wiring. After the accident, launch companies across the country changed the way they wired their rockets' electronics.

_the-new-kia-picanto-interior-design.webp "Kia has announced the prices and equipment details of the fundamentally revised Picanto. The Kia small car will be presented in the 2025 model year with a strikingly changed front and rear appearance, characterized by the new Kia design philosophy “Opposites United”, new exterior and interior colors, new high-tech elements from front collision warning with turning function and active blind spot assistants to LED Headlights and a reinforced body. Despite its compact external dimensions, the Picanto has a spacious, comfortable interior and up to 1,010 liters of storage space. This makes it also suitable for households that need a fully-fledged second car. The efficient 1.0 and 1.2 liter petrol engines are still available for drive, both of which are also available with an automated manual transmission. The standard equipment includes, among other things, a navigation system including the Kia Connect online services and air conditioning. The revised model is available in four versions including the decidedly sporty Picanto GT-Line. In addition, the limited special models “Launch Edition” with exclusive elements and colors will be offered for the introduction of Spirit and GT-line. All versions can be ordered now, with the first deliveries taking place in July. Prices start at 16,690 euros and, as usual with the brand, include the 7-year Kia manufacturer's warranty.")

_10000lb-monster-truck-attempts-stunt.webp "WEIGHING 10,000lbs, this colossal Monster Truck is not for the faint-hearted. Meet ‘Fluffy’ – the stunt-performing powerhouse that boasts more than 1,400hp. Proud owner, Kevin King, recently fired up the big engine and managed to jump over a fire truck and TWO police cars in his latest trick. Kevin has become one of the most well-known independent drivers in the Monster Truck Industry. Drawing a big crowd at one of his events in Waycross, Georgia, Kevin wanted to pay tribute to their local services – and thankfully, no one was left disappointed. Kevin told R.Rides: “This truck, it’s a beast. It’s a race vehicle. So it’s really not a matter of if it breaks – it’s just when and how bad. With the stunt, we wanted to show our support for those guys, to salute our first responders. It landed real good and I was happy with it.” ‘Fluffy’ is powered by an impressive Chevy 565 engine. And Kevin is more than used to handling this sort of vehicle – known for his work with ‘Fluffy’ and another truck called ‘Strait Jacket’. “I’ve been doing this for so long now,” he said. “When we get into the truck, when we put that helmet on, there’s really no thought process. If you’re thinking about it all, you’re going to screw up. It’s just what we do.” And when discussing the name ‘Fluffy’, Kevin added: “A Monster Truck called ‘Fluffy’? “It’s like the manliest, toughest name in Monster Trucks!”")
