Dr. VooDoo posted:So now this raises a question: did the self-destruct actually work to begin with or is it just one of the damaged engines finally caught the fuel storage on fire and blew up the rocket and SpaceX is going “It just took 40 seconds longer, that’s all!” There's a great video here breaking it all down, but videos showed at the time that the destruct went off you can see some minor venting, but clearly not enough to actually destroy the rocket at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErDuVomNd9M

BurntCornMuffin posted:Was the idea that the charge would puncture a hole to vent fuel, which would then be ignited in the engine wash? Seems like the design would only ever work if the engine was under/behind the rocket and it was flying straight and true, which is specifically the opposite situation that the system was intended to be used during. generally the idea is that you'd tear the side of the thing open in a big long line so that it's sort of all vented at once and the engines cut immediately before they have time under power to continue to gently caress up their course like this. i dunno what their expectation was here, spacex is just built different, and badly.
