Orbital Sciences Taurus XL (OCO) Failure

Picture perfect 1:55 AM launch of the Orbital Sciences Taurus XL rocket hoping to carry OCO, NASA's first environmental satellite dedicated to mapping atmospheric carbon dioxide, into orbit. A failure occurred during fairing separation. The mission was a failure. "This is Taurus launch control. It appears that we have had a launch contingency. We don't have the exact nature of the loss of mission, but NASA launch director Chuck Dovale has directed that the launch contingency plan be implemented. We will try to bring you any additional information as soon as we have it."

Chinese 40W CO2 laser engraver modified to run in Vector cutting mode using MACH3 software. The MoshiDraw software that came with the laser was almost useless. Uses home made chopper drives on the steppers to replace the weak stock driver and give a clean parallel port interface for MACH3. ***** Massive speed improvement, but still not as fast as others you will find on Youtube. I can't complain, this puppy was less than 00. Next video... Set 20 Cockroaches loose on engraver surface and see who survives;-)
