Hours after take of the ESA spacecraft Cryosat on a mission to observe the ever shrinking polar ice caps and to try to get knowledge as to why they shrink fell into the ocean. This officials believe was caused by a failure of the first two stages of the Russian rocket which used too much fuel and that the spacecraft was unable to gain enough altitude. The rocket used was a converted SS 19 ICBM now used as a satelite launcher.

Usually we complain about not having enough fuel to get to orbit with russian salvaged ICBM's.
Hopefully the ESA can come up with a replacement sateleite and get it launched this time...
