The failed engine shut down and vented gasses ruptured the engine fairing. How about someone change the inaccurate headline? &lt;i&gt;&quot;That smooth SpaceX launch? Turns out one of the engines exploded&quot;&lt;/i&gt;</text></comment>

That has left me wondering if they knew when this happened that it happened. I have to believe they did.&lt;p&gt;I remember watching the faces of the people in the control room when they did TV shots of the control room of NASA and noting that there was always someone who knew that things weren&apos;t going to plan, their face betrayed that knowledge.&lt;p&gt;That said, it looks like their primary cargo was fine, but they ended up putting their secondary cargo into a &apos;backup&apos; orbit.</text></comment>
