Default Dnepr launch fails

Didge or dodge, this launch
looks scary -- because the rocket
was headed south when it fell back,
perhaps near the residential or industrial
area...

This was the same booster that just ten days ago carried Genesis-1.

Boy, did THEY didge a space bullet!




Russian news story at http://www.gazeta.ru/2006/07/27/last209612.shtml

time: Moscow, 00:14 [GMT 20:14]

Engines off at 86 seconds, during second stage firing -- this
surprises me, I thought first stage lasted a bit longer.
