Okay I take it didn't go as planned
It kinda did.Okay I take it didn't go as planned
They got to orbit and they got a shit load of data from the ship. That was the primary mission. Any other successes would have just been a bonus.Okay I take it didn't go as planned

It was a resounding success by any measure. If they were trying to build a non reusable rocket, they would have been able to put 200 tons into orbit had they wanted to vs the current max of 17 tons.Okay I take it didn't go as planned
I'm not so sure that is official. That seems to be some random kid who is trying to be a YouTuber. There doesn't seem to be any official statement out yet.And SpaceX official statement on the flight:

This and fuck the naysayers rooting for failure!The failure of the booster to soft land aside, this is an awesome day. Congrats to SpaceX and to all the future space pioneers. I bet Bezos, NASA, ROSCOSMOS, Arianne, ULA and all the rest got a wake up call this morning. This is the future.

Roscosmos aborted a launch to the ISS with 3 astronauts with 20 seconds to go
Spacex has a scheduled cargo flight to the ISS later today.
Sounds like this abort is a bit of PITA now because I guess they don't want them both arriving at the same time
It's getting busy up there
With an abort at 20 seconds, I wonder if the astronauts are relieved, as in "whew, glad they caught that before they lit the candle.."
Or pissed as in"oh come on, let's go. It's just a faulty gauge!!!"
