133: In Which We Discuss the SpaceX Explosion and the Conspiracy Theory

from SciFi4Me: The H2O Podcast · host SciFi4Me

On September 1, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket exploded on the launch pad during a test. In the aftermath, the investigation has explored a number of possible causes, and one theory has almost taken on a life of its own: sabotage by rival company United Launch Alliance, which has a facility not too far from the launch complex. While officially, no one is giving the sabotage theory much credence, there are still plenty of questions surrounding the circumstances of the explosion that some are latching onto the theory that maybe a sniper was on the roof of the ULA building, just over a mile away, and maybe there was a shot before the Falcon 9 exploded, and maybe this was an act of corporate rivalry taken too far? No matter what the facts bear out, it's still fun to speculate. Also available on SciFi4Me TV.
