Wow!!!! NICE!!
As tragic as it may be, you just have to admire such a grand explosion! (though very expensive)
We should have hired the Russians to launch it..... /cry
We sort of did. It was Russian engines.
The Russians have been launching the same design for years, and their launch failures, while often not spectacular, don’t make it to YouTube.
What we need is a US space program. Zero and his cadre have come close to destroying it. Every failure is his.
