SpaceX's Falcon 9 Rocket Explodes After Launch

[AFTT47]

I don't mean to be critical, and I wholeheartedly support SpaceX, but if it is a pressurization issue with the oxidizer tank, it is somewhat disappointing. The spacelaunch business knows how to do that.  I know citing preferences for new and exotic failure modes seems a little wonky, but damn, I hate it when known engineering challenges bite someone on the ass.

(disclaimer:  I formerly worked for an aerospace company and some of my job functions were related to endurance testing of aviation and space hardware)

Thanks for the intelligent input, Vorlon.

These guys do things differently so I wouldn't be surprised if they fell prey to something the more experienced players would have caught.
