Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.

Praise the camera operator

Rapid Unexpected Disassembly?

I regret to inform you that the cylinder has been harmed.

We should privatize the space industry even more!!! What could possibly continue to go wrong?

Didn't even make it off the ground, pathetic.

I wonder how the launch pads handle these. I’d be impressed if there’s anything usable left after that past maybe the concrete pad.

That thing didn't even try...

Any casualties? Edit: "No one was injured during the failure"

Lame, the video cut off before we could hear the explosion :( Or was that wind like sound around 0:12 it and the mic is just garbage?

So 400,000 kg of liquefied natural gas (methane), along with 1.6 million kg of liquid oxygen oxidizer just went up in a fireball. The gas alone is the equivalent to 9000 full sedan sized gas tanks. Way to rub it in billionaires.

Imagine living 10 minutes away from that, and not giving a shit about NASA.

I live in Ohio, and I had no idea there was a rocket launch today. Maybe they're more tuned into these things, living right there, but imagine if they aren't.

You're just in your back yard, and you see trump droning on and on and on. He's starting new wars, doing new shit every day.

And then without warning you see a fireball mushroom explosion and think "OH FUCK, DID WE JUST GET NUKED???"

Because yes, thats clearly smaller than a nuke, but in person, 10 minutes down the road? It might not be so obvious. Especially when you mix in fear, panic, and survival instincts.

It's just a surprise mushroom cloud explosion.

Pretty sure I'd piss myself. But that's fine. It's Florida. I'd fit right in smelling of piss and soot.

Camera operator was so ready for that optical zoom out
