    Ouch!

    Looks like something near the header tank started ripping apart along the downcomer. O2 was nearly full, just a little bit of methane. Since pure oxygen tends to make almost anything burn if there’s a flame, that probably burned down quite a lot of stuff around the pieces of Ship 36.

    The static fire (at Massey’s) hadn’t actually started. Unclear how the ground systems are doing. At least it’s a pretty night explosion?

      Unclear how the ground systems are doing.

      We won’t know for sure until sunrise, but it seems like a fair bit of the infrastructure surrounding the test stand at Massey’s may have gotten torched by the fireball.
