Perhaps a valve opened and the pressure went up instead of down. That would be counterintuitive.

I guess the news conference is running late...

Maybe there were contaminants in the tank that clogged the valve!

I didn’t realize it but this was Falcon 9’s 19th flight. The number 19 always seems to be involved with death and destruction.

That means they dont know WTF happened, right? Gotta luv the space jargon.

Usually in this sort of catastrophic failure, all information and computer systems are locked down and a thorough examination of every nut and bolt that went onto the rocket is conducted. We shouldn't expect to hear anything with any authority for months. This puts a severe constraint on the ISS resupply, and starts to put the current crew's safety in danger.

They’re down to about four months worth of food and water and other consumables.
