Youtube Summary
On September 1st a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket exploded on the launch pad during a fueling test, the reasons for this have been open so some wild speculation but in the end it's nothing to do with UFOs - It's all to do with COPV's, LOX & SOX.
Let's explain what this all means.

Ah Scott Manley, my favorite KSPer. That guy has a talent for explaining things.

What is a KSPer?

bpicolo has provided the proper link, though the quick answer is "someone who plays the game Kerbal Space Program".

The less serious answer is "somebody who routinely experiences the joy of rapid unscheduled disassembly in their virtual creations".

My favorite videos of his are not the ones where he shows off new video games, but the ones where he delves into space history and engineering and astrophysics. He's taught me so much!
