<p>A rocket carrying two experimental
satellites blazed across New Jersey early <a href="http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?secti ... 7985">this morning</a>, prompting a
few anxious calls to authorities.</p>
<p>
A few early rising New Jerseyans called state police to report
seeing a missile fly over the Garden State Parkway.</p>
<p>
What they really saw was the result of the first-ever rocket
launch from the mid-Atlantic region's commercial spaceport in
Atlantic, Virginia.</p>

The Minotaur One rocket's main payload is a satellite that will
test the military's ability to quickly transmit images of enemy
targets to battlefield commanders. A second satellite belongs to
N-A-S-A and carries an experiment to test the long-term effects of
space on living organisms.</p>

By the time it reached the new jersey area it should already by way up in the sky that no one could see? Gosh I'm such a critical thinker, always questioning everything.

well, if it's headed into orbit, instead of deep space, wouldn't it fly off at an angle so it would 'catch', so to speak?POOPERSCOOPER wrote:I'm no astrological physicists but if they were sending a rocket from virginia, why would it go up to new jersey to get to space?

I wasn't trying to put on a conspiracy theory I'm just questioning how the god damn thing works. If this is the first ever rocket satelite launch from Atlantic, Virginia and that rocket had to go all the way up to new jersey to get a window then how is it that no one has reported "zomg missles" if they were fired from other spaceports.ApTyp wrote:If the story was a cover-up, don't you think they would've called it swamp gas or a weather balloon, genius?
Perhaps I'm getting CONFUSED AGAIN but this sentence is a tricky son of a gun.
"What they really saw was the result of the first-ever rocket launch from the mid-Atlantic region's commercial spaceport in Atlantic, Virginia."
First rocket launch or first rocket launch from Atlantic Virginia?
new jersey sucks.

btw ur registration sucks too, I anser "George W Bush is an animal" and it gives me errorJanuary 5, 2007�It looks like a shiny lump of fool's gold, and it certainly has authorities fooled as to just what it is.
This metallic rocklike object crashed through the roof of a New Jersey home on January 2, ripping through the ceiling and ricocheting off a tiled bathroom floor before lodging in a wall.
No one was hurt by the impact, but local detectives trying to identify the mysterious debris may have their professional egos a little bruised.
"I've never seen anything like it in my career," Lt. Robert Brightman of the Freehold Township Police Department told the Associated Press at a press conference yesterday.
Experts from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration have already inspected the 13-ounce (0.4 kilogram) lump and determined that it is not a stray airplane part.
Another test found that the object is not radioactive, although it does appear to be magnetic.
Some astronomers have speculated that that the object could be a meteorite, since the Quadrantid meteor shower occurs annually in early January.
But meteor showers typically involve small particles of icy rock, not big metal chunks, so if the mass is a meteorite, it's likely an unusual one.
Other theories have suggested that the lump is a tool lost by an astronaut or flotsam from an orbiting satellite that melted as it entered Earth's atmosphere.
Brightman said scientists are currently testing the object and hope to have results by the end of the week.

There are no 'knowns'. There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.

Is Jersey worth a trip?
The whole thing is just a maze designed to get you onto really expensive toll roads.
Their secondary industry is toxic waste storage.
Or maybe they manufacture it. There are huge tanks of it all over the place. Who the fuck buys toxic waste?
They call it "the Garden State".
Whenever I read that I think of Gamma World.
