On Sept. 1,??? ?? ???? at 9:07 a.m. ET, SpaceX's uncrewed Falcon 9 rocket exploded on the launch pad. While there were no injuries, the rocket and the Amos-6 satellite it was carrying were destroyed, and the launch pad was severely damaged.
SpaceX has launched an investigation into the cause of what happened. The company's CEO Elon Musk was largely silent about the incident until early Friday, when he posted a series of tweets, saying it had been "most difficult and complex failure we have ever had in 14 years."

Musk asked everyone, and especially NASA, the FAA and the AFPAAS, for support and advice. He asked for any recordings of the event to be sent to [email protected].
Adding to the mystery surrounding the incident, Musk also said he's particularly interested in the "quieter bang sound a few seconds before the fireball goes off," which "may come from rocket or something else."
