Explosion at SpaceX launch pad at Cape Canaveral

Fortunately no one injured, no damage to the facilities. As far as this things can go wrong, it turned out pretty good. Hope it doesn't mess up the launch schedule too much.

I'm frankly amazed it didn't happen yet with SpaceX, given the rate they're launching things.

Yes, really, it speaks very well of their logistics and engineering. It still sucks though, but not because of them.

Fortunately, no one was hurt. That is actually very good news.
