[Dec. 15, 1960] Booby Prize (Pioneer Atlas Able #4)
Today, NASA made a record; just not one it wanted to.
For the first time, a space program has been a complete failure. Sure, we've had explosions and flopniks and rockets that veered too high or too low. We've had capsules that popped their tops and capsules that got lost in the snow. But never has there been a clean streak of bad missions.
