SpaceX rocket fails just after launching uncrewed mission to ISS | Mashable

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying an uncrewed capsule filled with supplies for the International Space Station appears to have disintegrated shortly after launch on Sunday. The rocket's flight seemed normal when it took off from the launch pad in good weather, but shortly after taking to the skies, it broke apart in mid-air, according to NASA. SpaceX is in the process of assembling a team to "put together what we do know at this point," NASA spokesman George Diller said during a NASA TV webcast. Mission controllers lost contact with the Falcon 9 a little more than two minutes after launch. "At this point, it's not exactly clear to the launch team what happened," Diller added. This marks the Falcon 9's first failure in 19 launches. http://www.mashable.com LIKE us on FACEBOOK: http://facebook.com/mashable.video FOLLOW us on TWITTER: http://twitter.com/mashablevideo FOLLOW us on TUMBLR: http://mashable.tumblr.com FOLLOW our INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/mashable JOIN our circle on GOOGLE PLUS: http://plus.google.com/+Mashable Subscribe!: http://bit.ly/1ko5eNd Mashable is the leading independent news site for all things tech, social media, and internet culture. http://www.youtube.com/mashable

It seems to me that aliens help us big time in the last 50 years. We are so noobs, we cant even make a stupid rocket to reach orbit of Earth. A billionaire company making this rocket and it still fails. Well, billionaires if you did not sabotage Nicola Tesla for your stupid money, you would fly to the Sirius by now using clean energy.

Coincidence? Or just more proof that God is pissed with humans for sinning so much. -
What is wrong with these engineers? I mean cant they build a decent rocket without it falling to pieces? This isn't ROCKET SCIENCE.

That silence after it blew up tho.

What a bummer. All that hard work just to see it go up in smoke! Try again SpaceX! Let this setback be a learning experience so it doesn't happen again.

Well, leave it to SpaceX to figure out what went wrong. They are doing amazing work despite setbacks
