Give more details buddy with the link.

Space X just had another unfortunate failure; its Falcon 9 rocket headed towards the International Space Station (ISS) appears to have disintegrated approximately 2 minutes into its launch at 10:21 AM ET. Thankfully, nobody was on board, so there are no reported injuries.

Although Space X has had other launch failures before, this one is notable for a couple of reasons: it’s the first time a Falcon 9 model has failed, and this time the rocket was carrying important supplies for the ISS.

It was also carrying some units of Microsoft’s HoloLens headset for ISS astronauts, where the augment reality device was to help them complete certain tasks – such as performing equipment repairs with the help of an expert from the ground or instructional animations.

Falcon launches suspended
Shotwell indicated that Falcon 9 rocket launches would be suspended until the FAA signs off on SpaceX's findings, a process that she said would probably take "a number of months" but not as long as a year. At least three payloads are on the manifest for Falcon 9 launches in the near term, including the Jason 3 ocean-observing satellite and the SES 9 and Orbcomm OG2 telecom satellites.

"a number of months" but not as long as a year. :skd

Well, wht this line supposed to mean.
As per my understanding, falcon 9 may take abt 6-9 months

So, does that mean, ses9 is delayed by a yr :huh
