"And the Range confirmed that we had a non-nominal flight."

Understatement of the year.

I'm just glad they still have enough food up there. Eating crackers dipped in soy sauce can only go so far.

No word on the cause yet other than lox over-pressurization but obviously looks like a max-Q not peri-launch failure, we'll see.
