      Whoa! That was a huge explosion. Here's a link that works, since that one isn't working: http://youtu.be/jHMmMgdcOSU

            It was working earlier. Something happened to it.

              Maybe something is wrong connected with the recent update. Very odd.

                OK time to fix the embedded youtube links... I guess we'll be getting an update real soon. 😉

                  It's all links. I checked. I've opened a bug report.

                    I am all about not letting old engines die, but using an engine that is 60 years old to go to space probably isn't the best idea.

                      I heard about it on the radio 3 minutes after it happened. I happen to be driving into my neighborhood and I kept seeing people run outside and look up. I guess some neighbors may have thought it happened at Kennedy.

                                    Video is fixed. The embedded videos are breaking from the "last letter being dropped" problem.

                                      Well - actually - they know where it was the whole time - they just decided to toast marsh mellows with it. Check this perspective of it out:

                                            The new markdown can't handle links with a hashtag in the middle of them. I'll file another bug report. That's my fifth for today, I think.
