Shucks, looks like they encountered some issue after reaching orbit.
Well according to SpaceX it was an anomaly ;)
Less "accidental launch" and more "failure of the bits that were securing the rocket for a static test."
> It almost blew up on the launchpad (see the debris flying after a few seconds)you have literally no idea what you're talking about
It seems the issue was the rocket failed to separate at the designated time.
Suboptimal occurrence after a near-perfect landing forces SpaceX to reconsider strategies for next launch.
This thing should have blown up somewhere during launch, not while parked basically. People not happy.
Due to the booster failure, see earlier submission from before the grounding action: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41377762
What if the "carrier rocket" goes horribly wrong?
Not a lot of fun if the transport rocket fails.
