Apparently they were going to cold fire a nitrous oxide tank that was going to be used in a motor for a Virgin Galactic craft. The tank inexplicably exploded, killing two engineers and putting four others in critical condition. My father who works on the project at Scaled said the blast completely leveled their testing pad. Luckily, he was going to watch up close, but moved back to the bunker before the explosion happened.

And how will this affect spaceflight in the long run? I'm not a big fan of NASA, but I'd be willing to bet this will blown over.

In case you haven't seen it, this was in regards to sabotage and to drunk astronauts: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070727/ap_on_re_us/nasa_woes

It cost billions to build...but it's on Mars!

On the other hand, it could discover information of massive importance. Any economists want to take a stab at this one?

ok, vacuum energy thought of to be the direct result of dark energy being present in our universe has been veryfied (as far as i remember) by putting to metal plates at a small distance to each other, measuring the diference of such fluctuations between both plates and the outside, as a force.
(was it called casimir-effect ?)

Now i think .. does this ammount vary under gravitational influence of some sort, and if so can you give any numbers to it ?
anyone tried the experiment on the ISS for example ?

any numbers at all to get an imagination about how strong the effect is ?

What if you were out in space, but you suddenly died. Would your body continue to roam in space for eternity since nothing in space would cause the body to decay? What else would happen? Remember you're way out in space, millions of miles from a planet.
