There's a nonzero chance he helped design or implement the pad wiring on that
particular pad. He has not offered and I have not asked. But that's what he's
done for a living for a while.

Is this a reliable source? I cannot think of a sane reason to put the
data-storage near the pad. Also you'd want real time data from most sensors
in the control-room anyway.
Best,

Mim E. Keller: "Their data servers are located at the pad, and those servers
were lost. So they're relying on the data streams that were recorded by
NASA, which are not as high fidelity as what SX lost. This is going to be a
hard one."

Ok, I have a theory.
They were loading RP-1, Supercooled LOX, and GHe.
To me it fails the data obviousness test: unless they are vastly
incompetent they have telemetry from during the fill process, and that
sequence of failures would show up really clearly in the data. It
wouldn't be the big mystery and call for 3rd party audio and video to
figure out.
In the end, we are never really going to know what happened. Given
that they weren't compelled to share any in-depth report after
destroying US government property on a government-paid launch, it
seems super unlikely that we'll get anything more than a paragraph on
this failure.
