    It's too bad but mishaps do happen. SpaceX is still an awesome launch provider and the falcon9 is still Americas rocket. The problem will be fixed and falcon9 will return better than ever. Can't let 1 setback stop progress. We have faith in you SpaceX and NASA to get this resolved and back in flight.

    Our fat useless bureaucracies sure like having vacuous press conferences. After 55 minutes they still said absolutely nothing that couldn't be said in a tweet. The NASA guy even did some marketing on the side. At least it was amusing to watch.

    Every launch provider has had to deal with failures. This is just a temp set back. SpaceX and NASA will get this fixed and get falcon9 back into space soon. Don't let the naysayers stop you SpaceX from changing the world with your innovative and impressive falcon9. First stage worked perfectly by the way and I'm sure would have landed if the second stage didn't hiccup. Go SpaceX! You have Americas support always!!!

    Guess one link in the chain broke…Can never be too careful in the future when you're sending people on the rocket. Any way people can survive an event like that? What would it take, and is it possible?

    This would be easy to fix. Everyone who works on this rocket has their name put in a jar and the morning of take off someone picks a name out of the jar who is going to get to be part of the pay load. From top to bottom and there would be no exceptions. They would get this right then or we would be getting to see a roast like none in the past. Think of the advertisement it would generate. Yea if I was in charge of NASA I would turn this program around. Oh and btw, no life insurance policy would protect the one who got picked to take the flight. Yea, you would see the US rocket program turn around real fast. With decisions comes consequences.

    Hope you got some great data on what happened to the rocket. Should only lead to better rockets produced in the future. Hopefully any setbacks in ISS research can be remedied soon.

    Everyone's being positive (which is the right thing to be) so I feel reluctant to express my sadness over this failure. Nevertheless, as an observer, this is really heartbreaking.
