I hope they are following the old adage "Never bet more than you can afford to lose".
A remarkable company with a proud list of accomplishments.

Yup, I always used the 'anomaly excuse' when I couldn't send too.

I was very sad to see this.
I LOVE what they are trying to do and have been successful.
If at first you don't succeed....you know the rest.
If they did a "go fund me" I would give...I don't have much but I would!

Plenty of setbacks for NASA over the years. If you don't fail sometimes, you're not trying hard enough.

What's the problem, anyway? It's not like it's rocket science.

That was a novel way to get. Attention . . .oh wait isn't that the third rocket to go boom?
( the 5th ?)
With all due respect to the denizens of science who's valuable contributions
I recognize. You are all geniuses, and top rung in you myriad of fields. While intellectually, I know the world, my world, is better for the works of science, it is not as healthy a world as we could have if half as much effort were put towards. . . . ? my list below would be a start.
I was glad to to see it go pop, .... up in flames!
Old myths die hard
big fire balls often speak volumes.
Bringing the Internet to the world is an
Excellent use. It will bring education
(So not, what I'd said, ranting n the gloom of dawn, I've toned it down)
FIRST ( BEFORE )
Raise up All Women!
Bring water to the thirsty
feed the hungry,
cure the sick,
stop pollution,
raise up All women!
(Stop Slavery, 200 girls taken....?)!! Ember that?
It would be nice if, as face fart founder, &tsp oiled oildMusk,
put the vastness of their fortunes to good works......
First!
No more fire balls, Stop the madness
the worlds great minds can do so much more than the farce .that is Rocket science.
Based in military superiority, the idea that more than ten people will ever go any where in or
out of the earths orbit Is bull shjt
If we could we would.... .

Space X should just buy Atlas Vs from Boeing, and fly those. 100% reliability.

As a federally licensed manufacturer of explosives I must say, THAT was one of the most impressive decompositions I have ever seen.
I hope Michael Bay wants to simulate it one day :)

Seems odd to test fire a rocket with valuable payload on board.

From the time delay on the sound it looks like the camera was about 12 miles away. Wonder how far away the workers were from the pad? Was it super scary for them or are they shielded in some sound and shock proof bunker?

Very Strange
That says more to me than the presence of satellite(s) on board
I Was specifically thinking, while ranting like a yodel la shewho - a Hippy I once knew, Of the vast technical expertise needed to make it go bang-boom.
I was sure that the levels of gasses released would be less flammable?
Super heated Air? Is the oxygen content high enough to cause that bright white flare?
Isn't all that orange fire cooler in temperature by Many multiples ?
I'm not even a hobby rocket guy but . . . It was LIKE the Challenger. At least in its spectacular
Pyrotechnic display.

No rocket scientist here, but I read that they super cool the fuel to condense it and carry more.
It looks like the explosion occurred first up where the payload and the rocket are joined.
