Probably. But it's just kind of weird, sitting there in an otherwise realistic depiction.

So the US probe MAVEN got to Mars, carrying 70kg of scientific equipment at a cost of over 600 millions $.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

this means that a donation of 30 dollars to a developer that did not deliver would equal 4.769*10^-14 hitlers stolen from you
that's like half a femtohitler
and that is terrible

A bad week for space news indeed. Virgin Galactic lost their SpaceShipTwo prototype today; catastrophically breaking up in the air. It was manned with a pilot and copilot; the latter of which died, and the former seriously injured.
Spoiler: only photos of it breaking up I've come across (click to show/hide)

Doesn't the pogo effect remember to a vertical oscillation of the rocket, which if to strong enough can result in structural failure of the rocket, and possible crew death?

Doesn't sound like lighter news to me.

Pogo sticks are very anti-space.
