Wow, that was beautiful even if it did end in a Unplanned Rapid
Disassembly !
Looks like they had a shutdown failure in the Booster rocket with
subsequent failure to separate.
And only 28 of the 33 rockets in the Booster lit up. I'll bet that they
had some fuel tank cavitation issues.
On the SpaceX reddit, people are thinking the blast broke up the concrete >under the rocket - post launch photos show a crater under the
platform, and a camera truck got seriously smashed hundreds of
yards away by
a chunk of concrete.
What no one expected was that the stack would remain intact while tumbling
a couple times before the Flight Termination System was activated. You'd >expect aerodynamic forces to rip it apart earlier. That ship and booster are >tougher than expected.

LynnOr maybe numerology issues?

The only numerology I've heard invoked is that Elon may have delayedLynnOr maybe numerology issues?
the second try until 4/20. He's fond of puerile jokes.

for this launch. Hopefully it will have trenches and water cooling.

A water cooled steel launchpad is under construction, but wasnt ready in time. A trench
is difficult, since the water table is very close to the surface: the crater left behind immediately
started to flood.
