SpaceX launches are on hold after a booster rocket toppled over in flames while landing. The Federal Aviation Administration grounded the company's Falcon 9 rockets and ordered an investigation following Wednesday's accident off the Florida coast.

    Wonder how much toxic waste that rocket dumped everywhere.

      Pretty much just kerosene. So not the best, but not horrible. It just uses LOX and RP-1 (highly refined kerosene) for fuel.

        What I get for saying something without googling first. I was expecting the hypergolic fueled mess of older rockets, but this is just a mess, but like, not THAT bad of a mess.

        It’s me, I’m the boomer.
