I think it's safe to celebrate the SpaceX team for today's amazing flight!

And then what happened?

First stage worked beautifully, but engines started failing after stage separation and it self-destructed.

Second stage also looked like it was going perfectly, but a few seconds before its burn ended it also self-destructed for no immediately apparent reason. It was literally seconds away from achieving orbit

All I got from the article is that they lost telemetry. For all we know it got eaten by another spaceship up there.
