Looks like one of the pilots died instantly. It is not unexpected, space flight has a high death rate. All you are doing is sitting at the end of a huge firework

I'd still go on it. They will discover the problem and fix it. We lost and Antares rocket this week. At least Virgin had a survivor, unlike the space shuttle disasters.

These aren't the first deaths, 3 died a few years ago during a ground engine test.
