"Approximately one minute and 19 seconds into last night's launch, the Falcon 9 rocket detected an anomaly on one first stage engine. Initial data suggests that one of the rocket's nine Merlin engines, Engine 1, lost pressure suddenly and an engine shutdown command was issued immediately. We know the engine did not explode, because we continued to receive data from it. Our review indicates that the fairing that protects the engine from aerodynamic loads ruptured due to the engine pressure release, and that none of Falcon 9's other eight engines were impacted by this event."

There will be a full investigation however the video clearly shows more than just an engine shutdown. Something else happened and this needs some clarification. There's a lot riding on this mission both politically and financially.
The question is will the consumer buy into any new TLD's?
Seems to me that this is in part just a mechanism for ICANN to setup new revenues for all concerned. And let's not forget with search engines trying to make you, the average consumer, forget about TLD's altogether it seems a battle is shaping between TLD's and the search engines.
My company recently switched to Disqus as a test on some of our sites. So far we're happy. The mobile version needs some work including their app but overall good. I don't like Facebook and their attitude towards their users so we won't be using Facebook comments.

No explosion according to them.
