The alternative: Relating the story of the infamous 1994 explosion that killed two scientists at that lab. :frowning_face:

ABC News (Australia) noted that they’re talking to ISRO about “cleanup” but the Western Australia premier said (at 1 minute 7 seconds):

ISRO still want to confirm it was one of their rockets.
