Re: Going nowhere
"Or the insurance only covered the launch, not the pre-launch tests."
that's the kind of fine print and careful l[aw]yering I'd expect from an insurance company...
meanwhile, has anyone figured out what caused the problems? Did it START within the payload part of the rocket? Was it POSSIBLY caused by the PAYLOAD, and NOT the launch vehicle?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Life insurance doesn't pay out for suicides. What about rocket insurance when the payload itself blows the whole thing up on the launch pad? Maybe SpaceX will be asking for a few $million to cover launch pad repairs and cost of the rocket+fuel due to a FAULTY PAYLOAD???
