Tra$hed the launch pad too. The rest are grounded until they find out what when wrong.

I wonder if the failure is in anyway connected to yesterday's delay due to the boat in the bay. Looks like the safety zone makes sense.

Probably due to the 50-60 year old engines:

I rushed the kids out to the deck to see the launch (I was able to see the last night launch) while watching the live feed. Uh, nevermind kids...

Guess those cosmonauts will not have much to amuse themselves with the next few months except a picture of the 2018 World Cup logo and an autographed photo of Sepp Blatter

Could you imagine sitting in the ISS and seeing the new order of Tang/snacks/TP just vanish like that.

I'm disappointed when Amazon prime takes an extra day
