   For a while, after the booster went kaboom and the second stage seemed   
   to be doing fine, I thought we were going to have the best of both   
   worlds. An explosion and a success with the second stage going to Hawaii.   
      
   It seems that there was not much damage from flying pieces of concrete   
   and other such debris. Also, flight termination seemed to work fine.   
   That probably means that the next launch attempt could happen soon. My   
   understanding is that the delay for the launch licence were because of   
   those two problems with the first launch.
