This is actually insane. We don't even have a building that large in my town.

A prototype of a SpaceX rocket one day destined for Mars exploded in a massive fireball on Thursday after a possible methane leak. The prototype, SN10, blew up on the landing pad about three minutes after completing a 10-kilometer (6.2 miles) altitude hop test in Texas.

I sometimes think Elon knowingly screw things up to get more media coverage.

Remember this?

Now they can land it. They can concentrate better on the next task, to prevent it to blow up.

Really impressive despite the explosion. But I would never fly on this rocket.
