It starts to break from the front. You can see the first stage still running for a second or so before the airodynamic pressure breaks it apart. This does not look like a failure of the first stage. The break of the top of the rocket could have something to do with the strange light between 1:37 and 1:40
The spaceship "Progress" which launched to the ISS in april 2015 with a Victory flag onboard can now rest in peace in waves of Pacific ocean. "The Retribution" mission is successfully accomplished…
Cmon nasa, with all the money you get (lol) and bright minds, u could build some kind of assisted launch device that would reduce the cost of launches or make launches near free. Nasa exploit space bodies, platinum and other precious metals (is there?) make quick buck. * A single 500-metre metal-rich asteroid might contain the equivalent of all the platinum-group metals mined to date.* quote.
ah that must feel shitty as hell.
At least something can be learnt from every failure.
And spacex is taking us to Mars
at1:48 there seems to be a problem. fire burned a hole and let heat in?
"Vehicle is on track"
spacecraft go boom
awkward silence
A too early Merlin 1D Vacuum ignition? Maybe?
At least no lives were taken.
Hmmm…! Was this a staged event to abandon our thoughts of this project? Or to divert our attention elsewhere…?
Even though it was unmanned, it's still sad, first the Antares Rocket in October last year, now SpaceX
Not sure if there are people on ISS (as of now) pretty sure there is, either way, those supplies need to get up there.

2 things bother me here. Irony and camera.
Shouldn't all cameras be HD by now? and isn't it a little to ironic that a rocket designed to add access for future rocketsblows up?
Really happy it was an unmanned rocket though. Or this would have been a Really tragic day. Not just a really bad day.

Welp, that's a lot of money up in smoke haha!! But at least it's just money.
curse of the commentator
Let's hope there's a heaven for wiggly worms.
At least it's unmanned mission so no causalities.
Americants are all about sub-orbital these days, lol.
The space is closed for American homosexuals. ha ha ha
