SpaceX Falcon breaks up during ISS resupply launch (VIDEO)

Shortly after launch today, SpaceX's Falcon launch vehicle suffered a catastrophic failure. NASA's monitoring confirmed that the Falcon had broken up, something that was pretty obvious based on the live coverage of the launch. Prior to the failure just over two minutes into the flight, things had appeared to be going smoothly.

SpaceX control has announced that it is currently gathering data and evaluating video of the failure. It's hoping to host a press conference later today once that preliminary analysis is complete, but that will take place no earlier than 12:30 pm local time at Kennedy Space Center. Ars will have a reporter at the press conference, so check back later today.
