Now that’s a problem, all three of the ISS supply rockets have had failures.

The exhaust plume seemed to spread way out before it blew.

FOXNEWS reports the rocket has exploded just after launch.

NASA confirms failure.

What was it - maybe a minute and a half past the region of maximum aerodynamic stress?

Did the range safety officer take action?

I saw that, too. I noticed that it happened two times. Might have been an engine cato and followed by another.

That's not quite true, the Japanese also send rockets and they are up next. But two American companies and the Russians have failed. This is going to get dicey for the ISS.

Launch vehicle failure. Elon will have several engineers on the carpet this morning. He does not suffer fools gladly.

I don't think so. No explosion, it just shattered.
