I agree with Ronald Haworth. The first stage looked fine. There was some sort of explosion, actually, it wasn't explosive because there was no combustion, near the top of the second stage or perhaps in the payload fairing itself. It looked like some sort of second stage propellant tank rupture that broke the vehicle apart. Note that there is a large object that falls away right after the break-up.

That's what my last relationship looked like.
Violent outgassing from the wrong end of the second stage at :31.

Righty tighty, lefty loosey….this isn't rocket science, people!
Has anyone ever clicked on one of these god damn banner ads?
Something definitely happened towards the front of the rocket, not the running engines at the back.
Has anyone noticed bubble flying out of the spaceship from 0:40 ? Aliens won't let us reach technology advance! :))
I'm not a rocket scientist but, it looks like that was a breach and decompression of a fuel tank.
did they have cameras onboard?
Thank god it was unmanned. First thing that came to my mind was the Challanger.
This is fascinating and sad to watch at the same time.
I think this has something to do with that Court Decision this past Friday.
Spacex will learn from this and become better. Elon!!!
So who wants to be first when they launch their first manned flight? Don't all raise your hands at once now.
