The third try wasn't the charm for Astrahttps://www.space.com/astra-launch-success-ready-for-satellite-spaceflight.
The California Bay Area startup attempted its third orbital test flight today (Aug. 28), sending its two-stage Launch Vehicle 0006 skyward from the Pacific Spaceport Complex on Alaska's Kodiak Island at 6:35 p.m. EDT (2235 GMT). The rockethttps://www.space.com/29295-rocket-history.html suffered an anomaly about 2.5 minutes after liftoff, however, and the flight was terminated.
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon cargo spacecraft broke up shortly after liftoff on June 28. The craft disappeared behind a cloud of smoke and left behind bits of falling debris.(Image credit: NASA TV/Space.com)
An Indian rocket carrying a new Earth-observation satellite for the Indian Space Research Organisationhttps://www.space.com/indian-space-research-organization.html (ISRO) suffered a catastrophic failure shortly after launching early Thursday (Aug. 12) from the country's Satish Dhawan Space Centre on Sriharikota Island in eastern India. The liftoff occurred at 5:43 a.m. local time in India (8:13 p.m. EDT Aug 11/0013 GMT).
i am wondering if those aliens/ufo are shooting these things down now ?

Robert,
First, these were cubesats and pocketsats, not big expensive commercial communication satellites. There was one that was once built for $50. Have you priced a ride to space for a satellite? We will happily build and throw away a few satellites as a necessary risk to get that ride for free or cheap.
Thanks
Bruce

i need to aask why they would put all that payload on an untested first time rocket ?
were the customers (free apparently) aware of the fact that it was rocket #1 ?
what was the urgency ?
not trying to ruffle feathers, but this makes no sense.
