UPDATE: The SpaceX rocket seems to have broken apart entirely in what looks like a major mission failure. During the feed, the rocket start smoking and then appeared to come apart altogether about a minute or more into launch. The resupply mission was thankfully unmanned.

Serves ‘em right for using combustion processes for propulsion - should’ve used one of those proprietary Elon Musk battery-powered rockets.

US has no “manned/womaned” capable spacecraft at present. We pay the Russians big bucks to do what we should have been doing. You know, while we’re busy with muslim outreach.

That was not the plan?
It seems consistent with NASA's fundamental mission of Muslim outreach...

The launch was not nominal. All chamber pressures were nominal, right up until a couple of milliseconds before the rocket blew up.
