SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket broke up on Sunday just
minutes after its launch with a robotic Dragon cargo capsule headed for the
International Space Station, NASA said. The Falcon took off right on time,
rising into the sunny skies over Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florda at
10:21 a.m. ET. But shortly afterward, NASA spokesman George Diller reported
that the rocket was lost. The last readings from the vehicle were received two
minutes and 19 seconds after launch, he said. Debris from the breakup fell into
the Atlantic Ocean. NASA and SpaceX were gathering information about the
failure, and details are to be provided at a 12:30 p.m. ET NASA news
conference. June 28. http://www.nbcnews.com/science/space/watch-spacex-launch-nasa-cargo-try-land-falcon-9-rocket-n383166
The
cardinal ingresses of the Sun have a traditional reputation as important mundane events. On June 21, the Sun
entered Cancer, the second of the four cardinal signs. A chart for the ingress
drawn for Cape Canaveral, Florida is shown here.
Our
attention is drawn to the Sun-Mars conjunction quincunx Saturn. Mars-Saturn
hard aspects are always an indicator of accidents. And this is precisely what
happened today June 28, when the
progressed MC [27ge] reached a conjunction to Mars [28ge]. For stars in this area, Diana Rosenberg writes
[1]:
This is not an
auspicious placement for launches and maiden voyages! These stars were
transited…..at doomed space shuttle Challenger’s maiden flight in 1983; she exploded
just after launch in 1986; when doomed shuttle Columbia was launched on its
final flight (and many others).
