I would hope that it would be later than later today, and that they would take an appropriate amount of time to analyze all the data...



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.


Yes, and it is for that reason that I hope they take their time. SpaceX is very much a pioneer in this space, and how they handle each situation will set the benchmark, for better or worse, for those that come after.

I thought the way they handled the launch abort during the last mission was done very professionally. Likewise, I hope they handle this situation in a manner that underscores the complexity of putting things in space, but also instills confidence that they are up to the task. If they have to walk back any early mis-diagnoses, it could tarnish their image more than a delay in releasing the full details.
