Careless Talk​

It is of course well known that careless talk costs lives, but the full scale of the problem is not always appreciated.
For instance, a human (see Earth) named Arthur Dent who, because of a Vogon Constructor Fleet, was one of the last two humans in the Universe at the time, once said "I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle." At the very moment that Arthur said this, a freak wormhole opened up in the fabric of the space-time continuum and carried his words far far back in time across almost infinite reaches of space to a distant Galaxy where strange and warlike beings were poised on the brink of frightful interstellar battle.

The two opposing leaders were meeting for the last time. A dreadful silence fell across the conference table as the commander of the Vl'Hurgs, resplendent in his black jewelled battle shorts, gazed levelly at the the G'Gugvuntt leader squatting opposite him in a cloud of green sweet-smelling steam, and, with a million sleek and horribly beweaponed star cruisers poised to unleash electric death at his single word of command, challenged the vile creature to take back what it had said about his mother.

The creature stirred in his sickly broiling vapour, and at that very moment the words I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle drifted across the conference table. Unfortunately, in the Vl'Hurg tongue this was the most dreadful insult imaginable, and there was nothing for it but to wage terrible war for centuries.

Eventually of course, after their Galaxy had been decimated over a few thousand years, it was realized that the whole thing had been a ghastly mistake, and so the two opposing battle fleets settled their few remaining differences in order to launch a joint attack on our own Galaxy - now positively identified as the source of the offending remark. For thousands more years the mighty ships tore across the empty wastes of space and finally dived screaming on to the first planet they came across - which happened to be the Earth - where due to a terrible miscalculation of scale the entire battle fleet was accidentally swallowed by a small dog.

I honestly thought someone had posted another jokey video like arthwollipot's and then just saw it on the BBC news site.

Anyone seen any details as to what was being tested or was it meant to be a launch?

That's the department of government efficiency in action fer ya, they don't even have to launch the thing for it to blow up anymore!

I wonder how long it'll be before they track down Tom Mueller and throw money at him to come back and make the ship go again.

Here's a video about the event from Scott Manley, excellent as always.
The event initiated in the nose cone with a release of cryogenic gases, prior to ignition. Header tanks or downcomer pipes.

No, he must be slow. We are all waiting for him to post his views. I am sure as soon as he does then someone will post it in this thread.

Just to make sure you do see it, if you are not already subscribed to his channel please do so. Great channel. I am subscribed and watch all his videos. This includes one where he talks about a recent rocket explosion on the launch pad.
