We are the people that think things like education are not things to be ashamed of. Why dont you switch to the cops show videos and root for the criminals.

To everyone that has 1 second of free time, please thumbs down hightax's comment. It's a waste of bandwith and should be removed.

Wow, that really started to oscillate towards the end. Yes, i saw the 1st stage impact the 2nd stage engine during sep.
I wonder if a similar incident caused last night's failure.
Awesome launch... but a lousy stage separation. Don't we see the falling 1st stage impacting and scraping the aft end of the 2nd stage engine nozzle at T+00:02:52? And isn't it just about 2.5 minutes later when that very same 2nd Stage engine nozzle begins to gimbal in an odd way, leading to the wobbling that eventually kept the vehicle from reaching orbit. Looks like a launch failure to me.

looks like the first stage hit the engine nozzle of the 2nd stage during stage-sep, and the 2nd stage engine suffered some pretty wild gyrations a minute later.. I hope they sorted out that staging sequence.. If not, that rocket will never be man-rated :P
