Quote from Elon:
“We are close to figuring it out. It might have been formation of solid
oxygen in the carbon over-wrap of one of the bottles in the upper stage
tanks. If it was liquid it would have been squeezed out but under pressure
That brings up the question of how you get solid oxygen from a liquid was
just used to cool a warm tank....

5500 psi is 0.037 GPa, atm pressure is 1 x 10-4 GPa
That just doesn't sound right.
Where's the list for option 2?
