LIFTOFF of the Taurus XL rocket carrying the Glory observatory(failed,fairing didn’t separate)

Sadly,the fairing didn’t it doesn’t have the sufficient velocity to reach orbit :(. Same thing as what happened to OCO(Orbiting Carbon Observatory) two years ago, year,NASA awarded the contract to rebuild OCO with a planned launch date in 2013! Hopefully,Glory will be reborn!
