On: SpaceX SN9 Explodes on Landing

> SN10 is standing by. Somewhat uncomfortably close by

That was my immediate comment at the end. Pretty confident they are.

This was my thought even before launch. SN9 could explode on the pad.

I though they pump it with fuel shortly before start?

Not sure why you got downvoted. When talking about 'explode on the pad' it usually refers a rocket blowing up right when the engines lights up before it lifts off.

Or alternatively during fuelling, SpaceX had that issue during Amos-6.

Oh! I thought SN9 referred to the other rocket and imagined something like a chain explosion after the 'landing'... Thanks!
