Like a rocket, then smoke, then lots of baby rockets! Then the baby rockets disappear and everyone in mission control looks around awkwardly, trying to work out who to blame.

haha, I was watching the video of it, and thought that it blew up, but then thought "nah, they seem to really have their poo poo together. That must just be how it looks when the first stage separates."


Then silence on the video, and they go back to airing the launch pad. Fuckin lol.

Oooh yeah...


Is that the Dragon Capsule falling through the explosion? Possible that it survived?

Eh, I'm sure they would have said by now if it was recoverable -- would have been the only way to spin as a positive.

It is impressive just how quickly everything went from "Nominal" to "Nonexistent"

Please disregard my advice w/r/t history.
Any goons feeling down about the rocket exploding, fret not! Nasa blew up plenty of rockets before they got repeatable successes. Russia killed lots of cosmonauts in their space infancy, and now they're doing most of the heavy lifting!

Why would they be laughing? Their last supply mission went out of control and burned up in the atmosphere. Now it's time for a European or Chinese rocket to blow up.
