Jeb is a character in a space exploration game called "Kerbal Space Program", and when you mess up the stages things like this happen, you should check that game out if you are interested i space exploration since it's great and many spacex employees play it on their free time.
I made a three stage bottle rocket once, worked pretty good until it turned around and flew at my head on the last stage. Rocket science is pretty hard. lol. Never give up, never surrender!
John Battey It'd be nice if the stuff inside survived. At least something could be salvaged from what I'm pretty sure is one extremely expensive failure right there.
Almost 50 years ago we were sending a Jeep, 3 guys, command module and lander to the moon. Now we can't send freeze dried food into low earth orbit....
Every launch provider has had to deal with a failure. SpaceX will fix the LOX tank problem with second stage and get back to many many more successful flights including recovery of first stage. Falcon9 performed nominally and kept working even after the second stage LOX blew up. We have faith in SpaceX and NASA to get this resolved and be back in flight in 3-4 months max. Go SpaceX! Don't let failure or anyone negative publicity stop you from changing the world!
Houston, we have a problem. I remember Apollo 1 and Apollo 13. I remember Challenger mission STS-51-L. At this rate we'll never have Starship Enterprise.
My theory is that the IDA-1 has cut lose from the trunk due to vibration, or has somehow played a role in weakening the second stage tank. As soon as they then went to presurize the tank blew out. You can see the breach in the video beginning just below the trunk. Just a theory! Shame they could not parachute Dragon to safety if it survived the separation.
*****, not everyone is obsessed with being a humorless killjoy. Bear that in mind, when posting. Jokes are not for everybody. If you understood it, good, if not still good.
This is just freaking weird. Progress has its second failure in how many years? 15? 20? Months later, another resupply mission fails, the first failure of the Falcon 9. Launched 18 times successfully and now a fail all of a sudden? The last barge landing failed due to a laggy valve. We could expect they did some engine fixing work which could cause a failure, but *the problem wasn't the engines*, the cloud of gas must be a fuel leakage, therefore there must have been a structural failure in the tanks. Keep in mind the fail happens /after/ Falcon experiences the point of highest aero pressure, not /during/ that moment. No explosion. No engine failure. It must have been a structural problem, on a rocket that performed 18 times in a row without problems (apart from CRS-1 which had an engine shutdown, but Falcon is ready to fight that!). Doesn't this sound weird to you? Two resupply missions both from the world's most reliable launch systems suddenly fail? What do you think could have happened? A bomb maybe? Somebody trying to saboteur ISS missions? Or was it just a coincidence?
I hope the ISS is stocked enough to wait for the next shipment. quick question, at the beginning of the video I saw some smoke or vapor coming out of the top portion on the left side of the rocket, I don't think it was connected to anything, is that normal?
John Edwards This rocket uses liquid oxygen as part of its fuel, liquid oxygen needs to be kept very cold as otherwise it would boil, so some of the vapor will be from water vapor condensing on the side of the rocket, the rest will be from release valves that release the pressure when it gets too high (due to oxygen boiling) which produces clouds
can anyone give me a plain text transduction of the transmission at ~ 0:36? i seem to understand : "vehicle ... damage". i firmly believe i misheard that, but what is the actual message?
Right now the space station is not having good resupply karma. First was CRS 5 which got a bout 300 feet up lost thrust and exploded as it hit the ground. Then the Russian progress 59 which only made it through the initial launch, but after the second stage fell away the vehicle went into a spin causing loss of communication wit the vehicle, and loss of control only for it to burn up before making the burn that would bring the progress up to the station's altitude. Now this. Ooohhh boy.
Here's what I don't understand (and I'm not being snarky, I'm just curious). Why don't they have a launch escape system on EVERY rocket? When I see these sorts of things, I just think "UGH, we lost a crap ton of stuff that we could have recovered" OR "man, those engineers worked their asses off to build that satellite..."
sparkydoodle The LAS (Launch Escape System) is only meant for crewed missions. So if something happens to the bottom of the rocket, the LAS rips the crew module away from the parts that will probably explode. I'm pretty sure the LAS doesn't have any means of landing either, it's just to get the crew to safety. The module itself has to use parachutes or engines to keep from mashing into the ground after that.
Yas The Farlander LES is launch escape system, LAS is launch abort system. Not that there's any difference whatsoever, but LAS (Launch Escape System) just doesn't make sense.
sparkydoodle The frozen food and water didn't deserve saving .The IDE maybe but it was stored in the trunk that isn't part of the LES - so no recovery possible .A LES adds mass so you will get less water and pizza in orbit (very expensive there ) just to save some water and pizza here , where is abundant
willease maybe, it is clear it occurred much higher up than the burner, you can see two whiite spots each side, which appear to elongate prior to all hell breaking lost. Maybe it was leaking fuel
jfingerskeys Never a better time to collect space souvenirs. At that height (~46km) there will be pieces of the vehicle and its cargo all over the area around Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
On the fence of the American spaceport two crows sit and discuss the upcoming launch. - Bet explode ... ... bang !!!! - That's a fool, did nakarkat! - Serve Russia!
***** I remember when the Challenger blew up, the announcer said it was "an anomaly". The announcer this time described this, more aptly, as a "launch vehicle failure".
Don't feel bad, SpaceX. The new aerodynamic model has been wreaking havoc with everybody's launches.
Sami Gami If you think the best use of your time is spreading homophobic insults on the internet, perhaps you need to reevaluate your life.
LOL I DEID WHEN I READ THIS COMMENT!!!!
😂😂😂😂
When you accidentally press space.
***** Press space? It didn't even break the atmosphere!
LieutenantAlaki KSP joke.
FlareStarchild I was making a pun myself, actually. :P
Totally a second stage tank failure. I'm honestly glad it wasn't a Merlin 1D problem. Damn good engines.
Jeb, you messed up the staging again!
elgroxo Why did you put the next rocket before the decoupler? damn jeb. he had one job.
elgroxo OP, could you explain? I wanna laugh with you guys

F9, no matter what, of course I still love you
When you forgot the aerodynamic update at gravity turns
the most expensive 4th of july bottle rocket firecracker ever
Can't see that at Disney world, now can ya?
I made a three stage bottle rocket once, worked pretty good until it turned around and flew at my head on the last stage. Rocket science is pretty hard. lol. Never give up, never surrender!
2:46 I see a shadow slowing down behind the rocket. Is it the Dragon capsule surviving?
Bernardo SOUSA That's a good point, but I'm not sure if they could have gotten the chutes out. :(
Bernardo SOUSA Gwen Shotwell said they continued to receive Dragon telemetry after the "event".
John Battey It'd be nice if the stuff inside survived. At least something could be salvaged from what I'm pretty sure is one extremely expensive failure right there.
Bernardo SOUSA Everything got destroyed :(
darci480 Damn. :(
At least you didn't lose a Kerbal in the process.
Good to go!!!

Yeah. Go SpaceX, youre done good enough before
Every space launch I've watched has failed :c
Thorsummoner0 It's all your fault. ;)
Thorsummoner0 Stop watching launches then! Geez, you're costing people millions of dollars! =P
*Sending rockets up is risky, they need to find an alternative method.*
*We need to create - Helirockters.*
At 2:32 there is a flame glow in the interstage area. Is it possible that the second stage Merlin Vacuum Engine fired early?
John Battey No, that's very unlikely. The explosion started above the engine, anyway. As others have pointed out, it could be a ruptured cryo tank.
From what I see is because of O2 is dumped maybe because of leak or tank rupture. Is it?
That's some serious explosion
Houston, we have a problem.
I remember Apollo 1 and Apollo 13. I remember Challenger mission STS-51-L. At this rate we'll never have Starship Enterprise.

asher taz there was no joy to kill.
***** 5 people would disagree with you.
6 now, with me.
asher taz
yep but you are still all wrong
Nice work jixing it guy!
Something fell off at 0:52 - 0:53
Why was there no rocket body camera on this one?
Why did they cut the controllers communication loop?
0:36 sounds like 'vehicle programing damage'
Kind of looks like a second stage cryo tank rupture
Hairysteed looks like it to me too
Interstage failure maybe? Or because structural failure on 2nd stage?
Hairysteed i could see that being the case considering the few second of powered flight before complete failure...

Andy coincidence probably...
Andy Okay, after official statements from SpaceX, *the second stage got an overpressure event*, that means something probably caught fire...
Still needs more boosters.
I hope the ISS is stocked enough to wait for the next shipment. quick question, at the beginning of the video I saw some smoke or vapor coming out of the top portion on the left side of the rocket, I don't think it was connected to anything, is that normal?

momentous understatement -!!!!!!!

Comet Jockey Dave
They should just use an Atlas V, those things are about as reliable as it gets!
Comet Jockey Dave You mean CRS-3 by Orbital Sciences?
The amount of KSP jokes here Is amazing
RIP, rocket.
does anyone have the blueprints for the saturn V ?...
1:55 "Power to (not sure) remain nominal."
i heard "Power to motor remain nominal."
Its quite sad when I see a failure like this :/ better luck next time SpaceX
Well, it was a beautiful flight, until it wasn't.
why don't they use a big catapult?
***** because even if they could build a catapult strong enough... the payload inside would be crushed by G-forces at launch.

Ooops. Guess I should have had my morning coffee. :P
RIP CRS-7 Spacex
So sad to see it explode.
It looks like the second stage fired early.
willease maybe, it is clear it occurred much higher up than the burner, you can see two whiite spots each side, which appear to elongate prior to all hell breaking lost. Maybe it was leaking fuel
10 days before I had an intuition that it would fail. Reason: there have been no fails by nasa since long long ago.
What was Elon Musk saying about European rockets, again?
"standing by for some information" It blew the flock up dude...what more info do u need???
if they are going to keep dumping cargo in the ocean then just build a sea stations and send it out by boat...........?
jfingerskeys Never a better time to collect space souvenirs. At that height (~46km) there will be pieces of the vehicle and its cargo all over the area around Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Space remains "hard."
musk will return to earth, it is a very good lesson!
Do i have to like this because it's SpaceX or dislike because i don't like the fact that the rocket disintergrated?
AGAIN STAGING MESSED UP!!!
KSP rules :P
On the fence of the American spaceport two crows sit and discuss the upcoming launch. - Bet explode ... ... bang !!!! - That's a fool, did nakarkat! - Serve Russia!
cold war getting hot
WTF .......Nooooooooo again
Bet that was a few quids worth, up in smoke, ;-(
Approximately a 100 million dollar loss right there. Could of created a lot of jobs with that money.
112jungle Like the rocket industry doesn't create a lot of jobs.
112jungle could've
112jungle It does create jobs, you dipshit.
112jungle Because space exploration won't be a HUGE industry that will give lots off jobs in the future, as well as present day.
***** Very few jobs they create on the grand scale and the jobs the do create only destroy/pollute the earth more by consuming/waisting resources.
Not good
You will not go to space today.
ha ha so funny how just as he says the vehicle is on course and on track it fucking blows up!!! ha ah. commentators curse!!
***** He jinxed it! You don't say, early in the game when you're doing well, you're going to win.
SpaceX-Terminate
I don't think that is anomaly to me it just looks like it fucking blew up.
***** I remember when the Challenger blew up, the announcer said it was "an anomaly". The announcer this time described this, more aptly, as a "launch vehicle failure".
failure is too vague it blew up!! it is not wonder if it failed it their communication skills are so poor.
Only the NAZI's knew how to build rockets.
***** Right! Like their rockets never blew up!
s4ujcd yes but the were *designed * to blow up, but not shortly after launch.
Time to call the Russians again, the guys in the space station have got to eat. Poor USA another blow.
very sad. my condolences to the launch, design and assembly crews.
Revert Flight to Launch Pad ^^
FreezeHD they playing it on extrem hardcore career mode^^ no reverting^^
KSP?
3:03 captain obvious is now on the mic
A lot of the comments here seem to be surprisingly professional for what I've come to expect on YT. Rocket science brings out the best in us, I guess.
That is some serious fireworks mastery guys. /clap
Hey everytime you messed up you learn and try new thing just ignore the oger comments
Takes fails to succeed. - a lot of them
#SpaceIsHard
Oh well... try again!
a non-nominal flight - the things disappeared into gaseous form - non-nominal!!!!!!
We need to revive another option for space transportation: The Sierra Nevada´s Dreamchaser SOON!!
"Anomaly". Nice euphemism for "explosion" :)
I hope the replacement cost of the payload was insured
I am saden that this happen. Wishing all the best. Never give up
häääää....? die ist zerbröselt!
Wo ist die Rakete was hat sich von der getrennt, wo ist es? VERARSCHE?!
God isn't happy.
MrArtist1971 He's not actually. On facebook he's all ticked off.
