So one of Elon Musks Space X rockets blew up a couple days ago. Space X described it as a "rapid unscheduled dissasemblly". When I heard that I couldn't stop laughing. Any of you guys witness or cause any rapid unscheduled dissasemblies?

It was test flight
They purposely removed heat shield tiles to see what would happen,,,,among other things
The main stage landed on the pad as planned
It was even carrying mock satellites, not real ones. They are experimenting with tolerances, to improve future rockets. Some of the experiments aren't going to go well, but are very valuable for the knowledge gained. Keith

With my R C airplanes I always call it a soil penetration test!  Been there, done that. I've used a shovel more than once to retrieve an engine after "landing". Any landing you walk away from is a success!

Just an engine block or two. First I'd heard that and like it. Put a touque converter from a vega into a chevelle. Coming off the line it snapped the windshield. RUD lol Done a few engines...mostly fried a clutch or two. Interesting to see all the pieces after pulling the bell housing off....lol

"Rapid unscheduled disassembly" sounds like one of Eugene's explanations off of "The Walking Dead", lol. LOL it does.
