The object you see fly by just before the explosion is a Pelican or Vulture, close to the camera. SpaceX stated in their film on Netflix "Return to Space", it was a mechanical problem. They used this footage in "Return to Space".

Sound travels at 0.332 KM/S Camera was "apparently" 4420 KM away 12 seconds between visual and audio. So, 0.332km*12 = 3.984km This concludes that the camera was actually just 4km away. (1d.p) EDIT : The reddit author just claimed to have made a typo. 4420 M not KM. EDIT 2 : Please take a moment to scroll down and look at my reply. Okay, guess this got more attention of that I had anticipated... I found this video from a Reddit post earlier on today. And the author of the post did indeed state the camera was 4420 KM away. And of course I didn't believe his statement, so I went on to do a bit of maths to conclude that the Rocket was "not" 4420 KM away. And my bad I should've added some ~'s in order to show the slight inaccuracies of my calculations. So, I saw a comment much like mine, yet his result was more accurate than mine, due to his more accurate calculations and numbers used. Here it is.. For anyone wondering I timed the sound delay to be ~12 seconds. The camera was ~4.08 km (~2.5 mi) away. Calculations per request Timed with stopwatch app Speed of sound via google is 340 m/s * 12 s = 4083.48 m Converted to miles = 2.537 mi - Credit, FoxxMD -Reddit -By the way, for all the toxic people in the reply section, calm down. I appreciate all of the criticism that I was given and it should and will aid me in the years to come, but some of you need to stop getting so built up over a simple maths problem. Just calm down..

The object is traveling too fast to be a bird or a bug The object is a shiny orb, and clearly not a bird or a bug The object moves in a perfectly straight line, unlike other objects prior to the explosion If the object is behind the rocket relative to the camera, the conclusion must be that it is both larger and moving much more quickly than a bug or a bird in the foreground.

It is sad that so many smart and hardworking people work on this launch, but one malfunction destroys everything in a few seconds. This should be a good lesson learned for improving safety standards for the future launches. I am sure SpaceX engineers and employees will bounce back and keep up with amazing work that they do.

I wonder if you would be interested in this dataset, since you might have insights that we miss. The video seems to skip at 3m26s - do you know what time it goes too? What time does it start 13:06:00? And is there a longer video sequence available? We see interesting signals in our seismic and infrasound data for about 26 minutes.

You can see the payload fairings actually survived the initial blast but then hit the ground and exploded, which is probably where the hydrazine reports came from ...

thank you for all the dirt smog. thank you.. thanks a lot making our earth globaly warm thaaanks sooo much!

Great video 👍👍

So apparently this camera was 2.5 miles away. There was a 12 sec delay from seeing to hearing the explosion (time 1:11 to 1:23). 12 sec x 340m/s speed of sound = 4080m = 2.5 miles.

Is there a version from the high speed cameras that NASA usually has running at launch time? I was looking at the flash fire source and it looks like the source of the flash over comes from the tower first.

And you can see it on the left side of the rocket after the explosion. These are just bugs flying in front of the camera ppl. If you watch the earlier bits you can see similar bugs flying around at the bottom of the screen too. Florida is a *swamp*.

The explosion and risks have been, but the implosion process determines that the tower claw structure with the neck of the capsule suffered disruption in which the tower bars pierced the capsule.

any possible high vantage points in the area sounds like a gun report before spacex exploded.?

Definitely without a doubt that IS an anomaly!

Gotta admit, thats a pretty cool explosion

What could have caused that large secondary explosion at 3:41? Id figure all LOX, RP-1, and hydrazine would have been mostly cooked off by this point. Maybe its the TEB used for starting the engines, no characteristic green flame though..

They won the nice contract worth billions over other competitors, but they've been financed from NASA all along, plus all the infrastructure and technologies already exist and are now well known commodities. What they've done with the technology is amazing, but most of it is from past work.

This is where the pad abort system on the Dragon Capsule would be really nice. The fairing barely looked damaged as it fell. The hydrazine fuel carried in the satellite made for quite a secondary explosion after the fairing opened and the tanks on the satellite were compromised.

Anyone notice the ? object that passed by just before the explosion? It was very fast, but you can see it.

look closely at 1:11 mark, something from the right flew fast as hell by it and then blows up!

Back in space today for SpaceX! In fact, on this spectacularly clear morning, I was able to view the first-stage portion of the Vandenberg launch from my apartment roof in LOS ANGELES, 125 miles away! Using binoculars of course. But I hope SX knows what they're doing, using that newfangled super-chilled propellant. I hope it's not more trouble than it's worth. I hope we don't start calling it "Rocket-B-Gone".

for 15 seconds prior to explosion , the bottom of the second stage vent cloud ceased. A cloud started right where the explosion happened. Was the second vent actually smoke from a fire? The tanks were lifted when the tanks were dry so no cracks were present.? inmarsat today. maybe an improved maston jet.
