SpaceX uses "rapid unscheduled disassembly" for "it blew up".

We'll get a rapid scheduled disassembly in a week (in-flight abort test of the capsule, the remaining rocket is expected to blow up afterwards).

Did you know that you can't get astronomers for speeding?
No astronomer has ever been faster than 0.00004.
