A phone call from NASA’s Kim Newton at Marshall Space Flight Center confirms what some of us were beginning to fear, that the ejection sequence that would separate NanoSail-D from FASTSAT, at first thought successful, has apparently malfunctioned. Although telemetry from FASTSAT looked good and seemed to confirm the ejection, the NanoSail-D team has no beacon from the sail, and while attempts to locate it will continue throughout the weekend, the outlook has suddenly turned grim.

:20bux: say the Republicans sabotaged the sail to make NASA look bad. No, wait, scratch that.
I read FASTSAT as FATSAT.
what?
Oh no.
I think what the OP is trying to say is "Some stuff happened and some people aren't/won't be happy."
