things I like

Videos where no one is hurt

videos that are 1080p60

Videos where things explode

This was a giant win for me.

This one is interesting because we’re so used to a flight failure: motor, impact, etc.

Here we have what looks like a rupture, which make sense due to fueling ops, which cascaded in a blaze of RUD glory.

I was happy to see that someone got video out so soon. That’s a boom for the ages.

Those shockwave booms reminded me of the Pepcon explosion from way back.

I’m confused why the upper stage would have gone poof on the pad.
