SpaceX officials said it appears the ship's self-destruct system blew it up over the Gulf of Mexico.
Saturday's demo lasted eight or so minutes, about twice as long as the first test in April, which also ended in an explosion.
The real topping on the cake today, that successful liftoff, said SpaceX commentator John Insprucker, noting that all 33 booster engines fired as designed, unlike last time.
