They were 90 seconds from launch when the rocket started burning beneath them. On the night of September 26, 1983, Vladimir Titov and Gennadi Strekalov sat sealed inside their Soyuz at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, waiting to launch to the Salyut 7 space station. A faulty valve let pressurized... nitrogen into a turbopump. With no fuel to resist it, the pump spun unloaded out of control and tore itself apart. Fuel subsequently spilled. A fire broke out at the base of the fully fueled vehicle. The flames quickly burned through the hardwired ground command lines that controllers used to trigger the launch escape system. Controllers had to fall back on a slower radio command that required simultaneous confirmation from two separate stations. It took roughly ten seconds after the fire was spotted for the abort order to finally go out. Precious seconds ticked by while the fire climbed. When the abort order finally went out, the escape tower’s solid motors ignited with roughly 176,000 pounds of thrust (about the power of four modern fighter jet engines) in a near-instantaneous burst. The capsule was ripped free just as the rocket exploded below them. The crew endured peak loads of 14–17 G’s as they were yanked off the rocket and nearly a kilometer into the night sky, then parachuted down a few kilometers from the pad. They walked away mostly unharmed. They sustained no major injuries but were badly bruised. When the recovery team reached them at the landing site, their first request was for cigarettes. They were also offered a shot of vodka to calm their nerves. The remains of the booster, loaded with kerosene and liquid oxygen, continued to burn for nearly 20 hours after the explosion. It remains the only time in history a crewed launch escape system has been used in a real pad emergency (and worked!). For years the Soviets said almost nothing about it. The full story only emerged later.show more

The rescue of Salut 7 is an amazing a wild story too!

Space Chick Jen 👩🏻‍🚀27 days ago

I will have to post about that too!

Singularity Bingo27 days ago

Another story I highly recommend is Soyuz 23. Soyuz 23 (Vyacheslav Zudov and Valery Rozhdestvensky), 16 October 1976. They aborted a docking with Salyut 5 after two days and deorbited into a blizzard. Instead of the Kazakh steppe they hit partially frozen, shallow Lake Tengiz (average depth ~2.5 m) about 8 km from shore at −22 °C, in fog and slush. The waterlogged main parachute acted as a sea anchor and rolled the capsule onto its side so the hatch and antennas were underwater in the ice/sludge. Surrounding bogs and marshes stopped amphibious vehicles; rafts were blocked by ice. Recovery took ~9 hours; crews initially assumed the men were dead. The capsule was dragged to shore rather than lifted.

asking for cigarettes after getting ripped off an exploding rocket at 17 G is the most cosmonaut thing ever

Larry J27 days ago

The Soyuz has suffered a launch abort 3 times. The one shown here was on the pad. The other 2 were inflight aborts. In all 3 cases, the crew survived. That's as good as it gets.

Space Chick Jen 👩🏻‍🚀27 days ago

For sure! Ya this was the only pad emergency abort I could find. I’m thinking about doing a short thing on the two in-flight escape aborts too.

Larry J27 days ago

IIRC, both in-flight aborts were after the LES was jettisoned. The most recent was MS-10 on Oct 11, 2018.

Space Chick Jen 👩🏻‍🚀27 days ago

Thanks! I’ll have to look into those as I’m not so familiar.

Atom F28 days ago

And this, kids, is why you always launch with an abort system, no matter how well-proven and reliable your rocket is…

Space Chick Jen 👩🏻‍🚀27 days ago

Amen

Curly_Bill27 days ago

Pull 17G's to save your life? You betcha.

Space Chick Jen 👩🏻‍🚀27 days ago

In researching this I learned the highest well documented (not sustained of course) was 46 Gs when a rocket sled (circa 1954) decelerated over 1.4 seconds. His eyeballs were like OUT. Guy was temporarily blind after that + broken ribs.

Venus Vixenry28 days ago

Titov and Strekalov remain the only crew ever saved by a launch escape tower firing for real: two seconds before the booster went up, 14g and higher, and both men flew to space again anyway. Ninety seconds from launch, and the machine kept its one promise.

Crazy they felt like not saying anything. Sometimes a failure leads to a remarkable success. In this case, their emergency abort system. Bringing Apollo 13 home also comes to mind.

Andy Hutton27 days ago

That launch escape was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay later than it should've been. The whole rocket could've exploded; it's a miracle the cosmonauts survived.

R. Jander27 days ago

I'm glad they had that escape rocket power. It saved two cosmonauts

I'm glad the men survived, but the political and military poison that Russia spreads around the world means that I don't care about their space programme the way I used to.

That night SpaceX put everything on the line. December 21, 2015. Nearly 11 years later and it hits just as hard. Return to flight after a rocket failure six months earlier. First Full Thrust Falcon 9. First attempt to land an orbital-class booster on land. They had tried the droneship and failed. They had never successfully landed anything. In mission control it was a tense count. They went for it. Nine minutes later a rocket that had just thrown satellites toward orbit dropped out of the Florida dark. A camera on the back of the booster caught the engines lighting, still one of the most insane images in spaceflight. Legs out. The Falcon has landed. That was the peak of everything they had been working toward. The whole industry said it was impossible. They bet the company on that night anyway. Spaceflight has never been the same.

UPDATE: The fire is out, investigators are on scene. The fire started on the outside of a duplex, burned through the wood deck, and climbed up into the attic on one side of the structure. Then it traveled down a wood fence, burning the back side of another structure, through the yard, to a vehicle. A few minutes into the fire, firefighters heard two explosions from propane tanks which helped fuel the fire. Crews were able to contain the fire to one side of the duplex. There is limited water damage on the other side. There were no injuries. Crews rescued a lizard, but a cat is still missing. The people inside the duplex were alerted by a neighbor who saw the fire, and ran to knock on the door to get them out. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

This woman and her friends were out for a night in the town when they parked their cars. They had no idea what would happen next as they went back to the garage for the night to get their cars to leave. When they got there, they had noticed all of the gates were sealed shut, confused they looked on the wall where their hours were posted and it seems as if they close at 10pm. It’s well past 10pm, with the hours being posted, is the parking garage obligated to come down and let out people will chose to ignore their hours of operation?

China Achieves First Successful Net Recovery of Reusable Long March 10B Rocket China successfully launched the Long March 10B (CZ-10B) reusable launch vehicle today (10 July 2026) from the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site, marking a major milestone in the country’s commercial space ambitions. The mission achieved China’s first successful controlled recovery of a rocket first stage and the world’s first successful net-based recovery of an orbital-class launch vehicle. The launch took place around midday from Launch Pad No. 2 at the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site. Approximately six minutes after stage separation, the rocket’s first stage executed a controlled vertical return to the designated recovery zone at sea. Instead of landing on a conventional drone ship, the booster was successfully captured by the offshore recovery vessel “Navigator” (领航者) using a flexible net capture system, representing the first time such a recovery method has been successfully demonstrated for an orbital launch vehicle. The Long March 10B is a new-generation commercial reusable liquid oxygen-kerosene rocket featuring a 5-metre-diameter core stage and standing nearly 70 metres tall. It is powered by seven reusable YF-100N engines. Even when configured for first-stage recovery, the rocket is capable of delivering at least 16 tonnes to low Earth orbit (LEO). The successful mission represents a significant breakthrough for China’s commercial space sector and reusable launch technology. It fills a longstanding gap in China’s capability to operate a large-lift reusable commercial launch vehicle while demonstrating an innovative recovery approach that could reduce launch costs and improve operational efficiency for future missions. The achievement also positions China among the leading nations advancing reusable launch systems, with the successful net recovery introducing a novel alternative to traditional landing platforms used by other space-launch providers.

The Spectrum, the inaugural test rocket from the German private company Isar Aerospace, crashed and exploded roughly thirty seconds after liftoff at the Andøya Spaceport in Norway. This marked the first-ever launch of a carrier rocket from continental Europe. The objective of this program is to initiate satellite launches from Europe, positioning the region as a key player in the space industry. Isar Aerospace CEO Daniel Metzler commented on the launch, highlighting that the test flight exceeded their expectations and was considered a significant success. He noted that the rocket achieved a clean liftoff, maintained flight for 30 seconds, and successfully validated the company’s Flight Termination System.

These young ladies were waiting for their luggage, over a half an hour went by and still nothing. They were later called over to the airline kiosk and they got their luggage back. According to the representative, the luggage was damaged in transit. What makes it strange is it was all of the luggage from the same family, what are the odds of that happening since they weren’t all checked in at the same time. Does the airline owe them a better explanation as well as a check for their belongings?

Today is the 40th anniversary of the greatest technological disaster of the 20th century - the explosion at Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. This catastrophe could have had still much more disastrous global impact had it not been a sacrifice of the first responders. At 1:23 a.m., in 1986, two explosions destroyed the fourth power unit of the station. The reactor was left exposed, and flames, smoke, and radioactive materials were released into the atmosphere. At that moment, no one yet understood the full scale of the tragedy. Within minutes, the first firefighting crews from Prypyat and Chornobyl arrived at the plant, led by Lieutenants Vladimir Pravik and Viktor Kibenok. Later, the chief of the unit, Leonid Telyatnikov, joined the firefighting efforts. They faced a task the significance of which would only become clear later: to prevent the fire from spreading to the adjacent third power unit. Had the fire spread further, the consequences for Ukraine and the whole of Europe could have been incomparably worse. The firefighters had no special radiation suits and no accurate data on radiation levels among the scorching fragments of graphite and metal. All they had were canvas uniforms, helmets, and water hoses. The firefighters worked almost blindly. They climbed external ladders to the roof, laid out hoses, sprayed water, and extinguished dozens of fire hotspots. These hours would later be called a feat of heroism. For them, however, it was simply a job that had to be done at any cost. They did not know they were already receiving lethal doses of radiation. By morning, the fire was contained. Those few hours were decisive. They provided the opportunity to begin the further cleanup of the accident and to prevent a much more catastrophic scenario. In the first hours after the accident, 28 firefighters fought the reactor that night. Six of them: Pravik, Kibenok, Ignatenko, Vashchuk, Tishura, and Titenok - received doses incompatible with life. They were buried in sealed zinc coffins under concrete slabs. Following them, thousands of liquidators arrived in Chornobyl - engineers, military personnel, medics, and miners. They cleared the contaminated territory, dropped sand and boron from helicopters, and built a sarcophagus over the destroyed reactor. But it was those very first hours that determined whether the world would have time for that struggle. On the 10th anniversary of the tragedy, a monument titled "To Those Who Saved the World" was installed in Chornobyl in honor of the accident's liquidators. This is no exaggeration. Were it not for their heroism, the radioactive cloud that spread to the west and northwest could have been thousands of times denser. The consequences were felt even in the United States, but a catastrophe of planetary scale was avoided only thanks to the self-sacrifice of those first liquidators. Forty years later, Chornobyl remains a reminder of the price of technological errors and human responsibility - but also a reminder of the people who were the first to face the fire at the nuclear plant and who did everything in their power to ensure the disaster did not become even worse.

🇺🇸 SUPERCUT - BEZOS’ ROCKET GOES BOOM Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, owned by Jeff Bezos, exploded on the launch pad in Florida. The rocket was supposed to launch a batch of satellites for Amazon's Leo network, which competes with Starlink. Amazon stated that the satellites were not yet on the rocket at the time of the explosion. Blue Origin stated that the rocket encountered an "anomaly." We can see that, lol. So, Starlink remains the only game in town for now

UKRAINIAN NAZI WAR CRIME A repeat of GERMAN NAZIS of WW2 While retreating, the Armed Forces of Ukraine set fire to a church with people inside in Konstantinovka A report was filmed about the first group of people evacuated from the city. About 20 people were hiding in the church of Job of Pochaev. During the advance of our troops, the building was not damaged, but as soon as the Armed Forces of Ukraine were driven out of the area, they immediately attacked the church with incendiary drones and mined the exits. Locals say that during the retreat, the Ukrainians decided to destroy them for their Russian identity as "traitors and waiters". It was impossible to stay in the fire, and it was extremely dangerous to get out. The commander of the 4th "Rosan" brigade led people out in small groups. They walked 20 km to the Russian rear on foot, and the wounded and elderly were carried on the soldiers' arms the entire way. There are still many civilians in the city. Realizing that Konstantinovka is lost, the enemy is simply leveling it to the ground: they are deliberately blowing up underground shelters and bombing it with F-16 aircraft.

"Russia was so paranoid that the United States was going to launch a preemptive nuclear attack against it during the Cold War, that it created a Dead Hand system... They created a system whereby ground sensors would be able to determine nuclear bombs hitting Russian soil, and if they weren't hearing from the nuclear command and control—the idea being that it had been taken out in this preemptive nuclear strike—the Dead Hand system would launch all of Russia's remaining nuclear weapons, which were like 30,000 at the time. It would launch all of them without even needing a hand to push the button. Hence the name: The Dead Hand." Annie Jacobsen

Yes on the videos we have so far. The initial encounter was him filming them. There was no gun being brandished. They jumped out of vehicles to go to try to intimidate him. Unfortunately there's no video yet between then and when they had them on the ground. When they had him on the ground they were pistol whipping him, at first it looked like a baton, but it's actually a gun. They had him down with at least five officers. You got to wait for a second so he tried to stand up they shot him in the back he was motionless after they shot him in the back. Then there were four more shots or more after that unloaded into his body from a posture of standing above him. Not a defensive posture. He's supposedly has a gun. It looks like ICE took something out of a holster. So it's likely that he did have a HOLSTERED GUN in an open carry state that is not a reason to shoot someone to death. He was not brandishing it -- again it was his camera. That was the reason for the initial approach was to intimidate him about his camera. It is perfectly legal to film ice This is out not murder once again. Now there is some sort of speculation on social that a gun was dropped and a bullet went off. That would be the ICE AGENTS who took the gun out of his holster. I'll post some videos for people to see in the order that they happened.

It looks like ICE took something out of a holster. So it's likely that he did have a HOLSTERED GUN in an open carry state that is not a reason to shoot someone to death. He was not brandishing it -- again it was his camera. That was the reason for the initial approach was to intimidate him about his camera. It is perfectly legal to film ice This is out not murder once again. Now there is some sort of speculation on social that a gun was dropped and a bullet went off. That would be the ICE AGENTS who took the gun out of his holster. I'll post some videos for people to see in the order that they happened.

🚨MUST WATCH: The DOGE team says that when they went into the US Institute for PEACE they had loaded GUNS inside their headquarters trying to resist the DOGE team. They were spending money on things like private jets and had a contract with the Taliban. Their chief accountant deleted over 1TB of financial data over the past years and the DOGE team was able to recover it. They received $55M a year from congress and any money that went unspent got swept into a private bank account which had no congressional oversight and used it to fund parties and the private jet. at the INSTITUTE FOR PEACE! The DOGE team says they reported their findings to the FBI and DOJ. "It was by far the least peaceful agency we've ever dealt with."

In 2009 A couple in Florida had paid cash in full on a foreclosed home in Naples. The bank makes an error and tries to foreclose on them thinking it was the previous owner. They hired a lawyer and had the foreclosure dismissed in two months. The bank was ordered to pay the Legal fees the couple had incurred. After months of not hearing back from the bank, they took further court action and was granted a writ of execution. They showed up to a branch of BOA with a moving truck, and sheriff’s deputies as they were allowed to start loading up the BANK’s assets. The manager wasn’t happy about this and finally wrote them a check for the money that they were owed. Score one for the little guy !!!

As I’ve been focusing on the women’s stories before, here are some of the accounts from the male delegates of the Malaysian team who joined the Global Sumud Flotilla. Testimony from Sul Aidil: - They were treated with extreme cruelty as soon as they arrived at the port. The IDF showed no respect, their hands were tied behind their backs, and they were forced to kneel. - Among them was an elderly delegate with a back injury who had to lie down, still with his hands tied behind him. When they were later ordered to move, everyone had to do so on their own while still restrained. The older man struggled to move, and when the others pleaded for the soldiers to help him, the IDF coldly replied that he could “do it himself.” - Since their hands were tied, they had to use their feet to push and move their belongings. - In prison, they were constantly disturbed every two hours, just as they were about to fall asleep, the IDF would come and bang on the cell doors or shout their names to keep them awake. - The activist Thiago, who was in the opposite cell, told them that this was part of the IDF’s psychological tactic to prevent the detainees from resting, to break their spirits. - Each time they were disturbed, the delegates would respond by chanting, “Free, free Palestine!” until the guards became irritated. -They were treated like criminals. One night, the IDF brought in dogs from the K9 unit and special agents who flashed lights and aimed shotguns directly at their faces to intimidate them. Testimony from Asmawi Mukhtar: - The aggression escalated immediately upon their arrival at the port. Asmawi was hit, beaten, his hands twisted behind his back, his head forced down, and he was dragged along the pavement for about 200 meters. - All the delegates, men and women, were forced to kneel with their heads pressed to the hot tarred ground, in a commando rest position, for nearly three hours. -Thankfully, he still had his passport with him, which he placed under his forehead to shield it from the burning pavement. Others weren’t as fortunate and had to endure the scorching heat directly on their skin. -At the immigration checkpoint, all personal belongings were confiscated, especially items that could reveal information about the mission. - The transfer from the immigration area to the prison was horrific. They were packed tightly into a black maria vehicle and left inside for more than an hour, with no air conditioning or ventilation, under the blazing heat. - Many struggled to breathe and nearly suffocated. Only after some time did the IDF switch on the air conditioning but they turned it to the lowest temperature at full blast for the next two hours, leaving the detainees shivering until they reached the prison. - There were 17 people crammed into that small vehicle. #GlobalSumudFlottilla
