Glad it was unmanned. There's enough senseless death in the world.

If you take a look at the lunar missions for space race, you'll see many of them happened within a year of each other. It's a wonder there weren't more failures!

Compare that to today, where it took almost 20 years of planning for the Hubble telescope to come into fruition.

You shouldn't rush things in space. This is just the latest reminder.
