The launch was not nominal.

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

That was not the plan?

It seems consistent with NASA's fundamental mission of Muslim outreach...

The 9 engines appeared to be running properly even well after the vehicle first started showing signs of trouble. The problem seemed to be associated with the upper stage or perhaps the fairing. A wild guess would be that the upper stage oxidizer tank ruptured, leading to the rocket coming apart.

So Spacex blows up.

I could have built them a rocket that blows up, and for a lot less.
