Description:
On May 3, 1986, NASA attempted to launch a new weather satellite called GOES-G for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, but the rocket malfunctioned in mid-air. <br/><br/>About a minute after it lifted off from Cape Canaveral, lightning struck the Delta rocket and created a short circuit. This caused the rocket's main engine to shut down prematurely. It started tumbling around in the sky with some of its strap-on boosters still firing. NASA sent the rocket a command to self-destruct, and it exploded above the Atlantic Ocean. They did this to minimize the dangers of having the entire rocket crash back down to Earth. This launch failure was especially disheartening for NASA, because it was the first launch since the Challenger disaster three months earlier. Investigators found that this Delta rocket had a lot of problems that were known before the launch, especially with the wiring. After the accident, launch companies across the country changed the way they wired their rockets' electronics.

_junk-1999-episode-2.webp "Part 2 of 3 of the teenage drama from 1999. With her new goth look Gemma and Tar embrace their new found freedom away from their respective parents. Now living with eco couple Jerry and Yanny in a squat, Gemma riles Yanny by eating a burger in the place and fearing her a bad influence on Tar she tells Gemma to go back home. But at a party she meets Lily and her boyfriend Rob, who offer her a place to stay and later Tar comes with them to live, lost without Gemma. But Lily and Rob are heroin addicts and soon the teenage lovers spiral into a life of drug addiction. When supplies run out they are stuck between a choice of a life of crime or prostitution...<br/><br/>This is the 2nd part of the acclaimed and somewhat dark children's drama Junk, which was broadcast in January 1999. Making a name for Jemima Rooper and Daniel Newman as the teenage lovers, it also features Lee Ingleby and Susan Penhaligon, who made her name in Bouquet of Barbed Wire in 1976. <br/><br/>(A note: I did upload Episode 3, but it was removed. I have contacted Dailymotion to find out what the infringement was and hopefully I can find out so the video can be re-edited and uploaded again minus it's infringement. Please note that even if I this persists, I will be uploading the series in full on my other channel on OK at the weekend, but hopefully Dailymotion will allow an edited version to be uploaded on here. Fingers crossed for fans who requested this).")
