Well now that's not supposed to happen!

SubaruStephen:
No injuries. At least there's a plus side to this. I hope Space-X has a spare rocket to get another payload up there quickly.

GarandMarine:
The real issue is apparently the launch facilities at Wallops Island are pretty heavily damaged. So that's gonna be an issue. Getting the payload back together's gonna take a hot second too.
