Posted: Sun Sep 11, 2016 11:36 pmStill no word on wtf happened.
SpaceX themselves don't seem to know. The thing just randomly went up in flames for no apparent reason.
But...they're crowdsourcing it now?
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, CEO and founder of the private spaceflight company SpaceX, is asking for help from NASA and the public in figuring out what happened when one of the company's Falcon 9 rockets exploded on Sept. 1.
"If you have audio, photos or videos of our anomaly last week, please send to report@spacex.com. Material may be useful for investigation," Musk tweeted today at 11:44 a.m. EDT (1544 GMT).
The explosion took place two days before the scheduled launch of the rocket, during a routine prelaunch operation at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Space Launch Complex 41 in Florida. Based on tweets from Musk in the last 10 hours, the cause of the explosion appears to be completely mystifying the company's staff.

Musk also tweeted directly at NASA, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Air Force Personnel Accountability and Assessment System (because Cape Canaveral is an Air Force Station), asking for assistance.
"Support & advice from @NASA, @FAA, @AFPAA & others much appreciated. Please email any recordings of the event to report@spacex.com," he wrote.

Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2016 5:12 pmThat's the shit I wonder about.
SpaceX is extremely disruptive to the cash flow of some of the worlds largest corporations and governments. Not much I'd put past any of them.
