Nzoner's Game Room>Space Exploration megathread
DaFace 09:40 AM 06-01-2014
Since a number of cool things are happening in space exploration these days, we'll widen the scope of this thread a smidge. Conversation about all things space exploration are welcome, whether it be from NASA, SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, or anyone else. Chances are most of the discussion will still be about SpaceX since they love to make things public and fun, but nothing's off limits. I'll eventually get around to modifying the OP to include resources for other companies too, but in the meantime, feel free to post any cool stuff you run across.

Meh. I'm an Occam's Razor kind of guy. Chances are it was just some sort of bird flying by. Keep in mind that this camera was probably a LONG way back, so it's possible that object wasn't even close to the rocket.

The highly likely explanation is just plain old vehicle failure. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Still working on the Falcon fireball investigation. Turning out to be the most difficult and complex failure we have ever had in 14 years.

Important to note that this happened during a routine filling operation. Engines were not on and there was no apparent heat source.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 9, 2016



Particularly trying to understand the quieter bang sound a few seconds before the fireball goes off. May come from rocket or something else.
