Hcube Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Didn't see much of an explosion... Looked more like a structural failure with liquid oxygen escaping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motokid600 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 And here I said to myself when I got the webcast running.. "Oh, man... something tells me this is going to explode today." .. sorry everyone. Its my fault. But... damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codepoet Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 It also makes you wonder how it will be possible maintain crew on ISS now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdwulfe Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 CRAP. I was looking away when the 'non nominal condition' occured! What happened?! I hope they do a playback soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen_Heart Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Was there a burst of RCS near the start of the gravity turn? Long before the rocket went boom.Also does the cargo dragon abort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piggysanTH Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 How about dragon capsule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rus-Evo Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 They are saying that the vehicle provides a LOT of data which is transmitted during flight that they will be going through now...... and for a while I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totalitor Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Space flight are full of failures. Let's hope that the reason for this will be found and problems will be solved. Still, I am sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman703 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I also noted what looked like RCS need the start of pitch, but didn't think a ton about it... Cargo's trashed man. What does this mean for future ISS deliveries? Only Russia can take stuff up there now till SpaceX figures out what went wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frida Space Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 you could see something was wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rus-Evo Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 It would be good if the abort system was attached to test itself in real world conditions. I doubt it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornHuskerKenny Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I hope the Dragon capsule aborted and survived.Probably not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EladDv Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 there was no explosion so i guess it is a structural failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shpaget Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Was there a burst of RCS near the start of the gravity turn? Long before the rocket went boom.I saw that too, but wouldn't they have aborted if it was anomalous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobT11 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 So it went past max dynamic pressure, was supersonic, and wasn't doing any separations. Purely wild speculation at this point but what would even cause it to fail at such a stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
