Whatever happened - it was really weird. Oh, and fuel for the conspiracy theorists:

It's just an illustration of the concept, but here's the plan for Mars.
Elon's talk is supposedly being broadcast here at 1:30pm CT. http://www.spacex.com/Mars |

After reviewing footage of the explosion, WaPo reports that SpaceX noticed an "odd shadow, then a white spot" on the roof of a nearby building owned by United Launch Alliance, an old-school rocket-launching company that competes with SpaceX on military contracts. The building has a clear line of sight to the launchpad where SpaceX's rocket exploded, WaPo notes.

Stop this shit. It's very likely that they've got a root cause analysis tree for realized risks that has "sabotage" as one of its branches. As all the other possible root causes get crossed off the list, you've got to take a serious look at it at some point.
I HIGHLY doubt this is sabotage. |

They've got a long way to go, but I think I'd take a vacation to Florida to try and watch that thing launch.
