This was a “kill” explosion or a selfie quick combustion?

This is good. You want the failures to show up during tests.

TRICKS ARE FOR KIDS!

Some tests do need do need be taken to the point of destruction to be useful. However, that’s planned ahead of time.

This is good since they can study the failure and learn, during testing instead of later in production. Rockets ARE tricky.

I designed and delivered spacecraft attitude control systems in my time as an aerospace engineer and believe me I’d rather have the problem during development, rather than when there’s a multimillion dollar payload riding along.

"Fly then fix". It almost always works better than "Fix then fly", and they've taken the human cost out of it.

Go Musk, you liberal bastard!

it’s a good company that had major success.

They launched a bunch of satellites and only had one partial failure — the secondary cargo was let go too low

why are they not launching to put mist of the trajectory over the Gulf?

It is interesting they launched this thing out in farm/ranch country not far south of G W Bush’s place in TX.

It must be fun collecting all of the pieces.

It’s also known as a ‘cato’ (catostrophic explosion or event).

“anamoly”
I think this is the word flying people use ever since that ‘Twilight Zone’ episode with Captain Kirk and a gremlin on the wing.
