you have that launchpad, what went wrong with the spacex program to try to get these things up there?is was just a test, not a launch day, on the launchpad getting ready, they did a static test which means you test the engine but do not go anywhere. they had a problem as you described earlier, the helium tank, you use helium to pressurize the fuel tank because when you are going to orbit, you are under different g-force, and you want to make sure there is good pressure on the fuel to keep feeding the engine. so they pressurize it with helium, and it is part of the fuel tank system. there was an imperfection in the helium tank which caused some pooling of the liquid oxygen which is very flammable. to get something to space with a lot of power, you need very powerful fuel which is liquid hydrogen or oxygen normally, and in this case, liquid oxygen next to the tank, the helium tank had the imperfection, it pulled in the wrong place, little bit of friction and ignited the liquid oxygen. that is what they found out and there investigation here they are hoping to launch in the next week. >>
