    Not surprised there are anomalies. The falcon 9 launches so frequently, there are bound to be some issues.

    This is why NASA needs Boeing to get it together with their crew vehicle. Right now there’s no way to get new crew up there, until falcon 9 gets cleared again.

    We need more than just one company to run away with the launch market.

      There were/are other companies but they are so horrendously expensive that SpaceX becomes the default choice.

      It was inevitable that they’d have some issues after the crazy success streak, it’s just frustrating and feels bad that there have been 3 groundings in quick succession. Hopefully they root cause and fix this new issue just as fast as the last two.
