Heres a video of the explosion of the unmanned Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon capsule:
Here
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.

The Saturn V really was the pinnacle of our rocketry achievement. That is why this is one of the coolest videos of all time.
Saturn V Launch Slow Motion
I don't remember who said it but they said "The shuttle gets a little aggressive but the Saturn V kicked your ass".

I’ll follow up with a second wild guest - the relief value for the LOX tank failed leading to a rupture of the tank.

>>This one worked.
Yeah but, pointing that out is “offensive and unprofessional” among the L.I.F.E.R. herd in today’s PCU (Progressive Corporate Utopia).

Created by captured nazi scientists and solid American men in buzzcuts who liked cigarettes and scotch.

It’s all government money, contracted to Space X. Much like most of DoD.

Looks like NASA’s honeymoon with taxpayer-subsidized golden boy Elon Musk may be over.

Looks to me like the manned version of the Space-X Dragon capsule would have safely separated just before or during the Falcon’s breakup. That capability was scheduled to be tested in the Fall with a planned maximum Q separation, but the test will now probably be pushed back.

It’s a perfect analogy for the country now, we are full of bs’ers who can’t accomplish concrete tasks. But we’re going at making people feel good.

Matter of fact it looked something inside the cargo fairing blowed up real good. —
An ‘immigrant’ sneaked into the cargo bay.
