It looked like smoke coming from the side of the rocket before it got much altitude.

Dang, that’s brutal to see...just the loss of the machine and contents is bad, but all the hard and difficult, impossible even, WORK up in smoke.

I wouldn’t want to be part of that root cause investigation...yikes!

I read that Lloyd’s of London insures rockets like this.

I can only imagine that there is an insurance broker not having a good night’s sleep right now.

NASA calling it a "catastrophic anomaly"....good term, imo, of the WH and all of it sideshows..

Well, when you change the focus from space exploration to islamic feel-goodism, this is the kind of sh!t that happens.

Wow! It’s a tragedy to lose so much technology in one second.

Hope the guys at the space station have enough supplies to last till they reschedule another supply rocket to them.
