Huh? Destroying it to make sure the abort system works . . . once!

"We are purposefully failing a launch vehicle to make sure that our abort system on the spacecraft that will be flying for our crews works," Lueders said. "So it's a very important test."

Thanks for posting. With the delay I was able to watch (too much party last night). Flashed back to being a boy and watching launches live on TV when every launch was a big deal. Sorta strange that almost 60 years later it's still a crew capsule on top of a giant roman candle.

Dude doing the broadcast to had a odd annunciation though, like you'd use broadcasting the Macy's parade or something.
