"On the plus side, the flight of our first stage, with the new Merlin 1C engine that will be used in Falcon 9, was picture perfect," he [Elon Musk] wrote in a message to employees. "Unfortunately, a problem occurred with stage separation, causing the stages to be held together. SpaceX will not skip a beat in execution going forward."

eh...

ok...

Our rocket blew up but its ok, the first half before the explosion was good.

um...

I want these guys to succeed, heck I want all of the private space companies to succeed, but this can now be called a trend with SpaceX.
