If 5 tons of satellite can fail like that it's a huge problem for a tech that cost billions
. JAXA gotta be super careful before next launch or people will end up getting hurt in space 
.Japan lost a 5-ton navigation satellite when it fell off a rocket during launch

I'm like totally stunned by this... what happened at that Japanese launch ?! First off, a 5-ton satellite just disappears into thin air? That's crazy talk! 
Then the rocket loses its payload shroud and the whole thing falls apart? Not good. The fact that the engineers are still trying to figure out what went wrong is no surprise, but it's gonna be tough to get to the bottom of this without knowing more about those fairing separation procedures 
.I'm not sure if I'd wanna fly on a rocket with a history like that...
I mean, it's had six successful launches and all, but two out of eight isn't exactly heartening. And now they're gonna have to clear this H3 rocket for the Martian Moons Exploration mission? That's high pressure 
! Either way, gotta give those engineers at JAXA credit - they'll get to the bottom of it, even if it takes some time 
this is so sad 
i feel bad for japan & jaxa... they've worked so hard on that h3 rocket and now it's like everything went wrong 1 minute before launch 
it's crazy how a single mistake can happen in space, where safety & precision are EVERYTHING 
i'm worried about the michibiki 5 satellite too... it was meant to be doing some really cool stuff up there
and now it's just a huge piece of metal floating in the ocean 
i hope jaxa gets to the bottom of this & fixes whatever went wrong so they can get back on track with their mars mission

So, I'm thinking, what really goes through your mind when a massive launch like this fails? Like, you're counting down to blast off, everything's looking good, and then BAM! You lose the payload. It's gotta be super frustrating for JAXA, especially with a mission like Moons Exploration on the line.I mean, it looks like they've got some leads, but I'm sure there's still a lot of speculation going around. The fact that sensors detected sudden accelerations tells me there might be something about fairing separation that needs to be looked at again. But what if... just what if... it was something completely unexpected? Like, maybe the rocket's systems were working fine, but then some unforeseen factor comes into play?
Anyway, my two cents is that JAXA should take their time with this investigation. Two failures out of eight isn't crazy bad, especially considering how complex these rockets are. But still gotta get to the bottom of it. And who knows? Maybe there's a lesson here for future launches...

This catastrophic failure during the H3 rocket launch has left many questions unanswered. The investigation must be thorough to identify the cause and prevent such incidents in the future. With a record of six successful launches, it's disheartening to see the H3 rocket's failure rate rise to two out of eight. Let's hope the JAXA team can shed some light on what went wrong

The investigation will help us learn from our mistakes & move forward stronger
