[amsat-bb] SpaceX Test Vehicle Explodes

[Brenton Salmi]

F9R was a dedicated test vehicle for vertical takeoff vertical landing and
had many successes under its belt. It was pushed to extreme today to test
capabilities flying quite the mission!

Thanks for the link! Lots to be learned in the name of
advancing spaceflight!
