That sort of makes me want to cry. I hate to think of the people who spent years building that telescope, only to have it shattered all over the damn outback.

Imagine having to explain to your car insurance company about how a rogue NASA balloon carrying millions of dollars of telescopes got loose and flipped your SUV.
No really, it was a NASA balloon.
Yes in Australia.
Yes, it got loose...yes the expensive balloon full of highly technical equipment just got loose.

if this is an english system blunder I will laugh and laugh
It looks more like a "someone forgot to fasten or clip something" blunder. It gets loose from the boom there way to close to the ground, and the delicate equipment was no match for solid objects and the earth itself.

I mean, the Genesis crash was pretty understandable. The probe had been out in space, was rocketing through the atmosphere, and we were depending on stuntmen in helicopters to catch the damn thing. There's a lot of room for things to go terribly wrong there.
But this? It's a balloon. I'm pretty sure a couple of Frenchmen could have gotten this shit done two hundred years ago.

i've had two missions fail shortly after launch and splash into the ocean. no scraps to pick up though, that would just be heart-wrenching.
not mine, but the noaa-n fuckup is well documented in our safety manuals.
