NASA Morpheus Lander Explosion

DishpanMan writes: For every success story from NASA like Curiosity, there is a failure story, like today's Morpheus project test flight at Kennedy Sapce Center. http://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/exploration/morpheus/index.html. The project is trying to build a low cost Moon and Asteroid lander using clean fuels on a shoestring budget. While tethered flight test were successful, today's actual flight test ended in a crash and a ball of fire followed by a spectacular explosion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hvlG2JtMts Initial feedback points to hardware failure, but the investigation is still ongoing.
