For those curious: CRS-7 was a resupply mission for the ISS, had a bunch of miscellaneous cargo on it (a bunch of food, experiments, etc.) Nothing too important as far as I can tell. 99% American/European/Japanese supplies. And a single thing for the Russians: a wrench :)

Amos-6 was an Israeli communications satellite that would've provided satellite internet over Europe and Africa.

So what you're saying is that the failed mission had a wrench thrown into it by the Russians? :)
