A NASA balloon intended to lift a gamma-ray telescope into the atmosphere Thursday crashed on take-off, destroying the telescope and overturning an SUV in its path. Said a NASA spokesman, “That’s the last time we use a Toyota balloon.”

The gamma ray telescope was completely destroyed, but nobody was exposed to actual gamma rays… except Dr. Bruce Banner, currently unaccounted for.
