Space X suffered a major set-back Saturday during a test of the Draco boosters on the abort system aboard the Dragon Crew capsule for the Falcon Heavy Rocket. It was on the test stand doing the last of a series of tests when something went terribly wrong and the whole load of hypergolic fuels [momomethyl hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide] blew it in to tiny pieces. The whole thing went up in a huge explosion. When I heard they used the capsule that flew to the ISS with supplies a few weeks ago, splashed down in the Atlantic and then sat in salt water for over an hour waiting to be picked up blew my mind. These were tests to certify it for human flight. Why didn't they use the fucking new one that is sitting in the barn at 39-A???? What the fuck Elon, you arrogant fucktarded asshat?
These people are blowing up their own company in front of the world.
