Is there any recent, interesting news regarding SpaceX Launch Fails Reach?
A private company called SpaceX launched its 3rd rocket which failed a few minutes after launch. Stages failed to separate in the rocket, which caused the rocket to go off course and fail structurally. It was launched from an island in the Pacific Ocean, so there is no danger of debris falling on populated areas. I am sure the company is insured for such an eventuality. It carried 3 satellites, one of which contained the ashes of several people. One of them was James Doohan from Star Trek. The company already has 2 more rockets built. One of them is scheduled for launch later this year. The owner is committed to developing a commercial rocket that can reliably reach orbit. He has approved construction of a 6th rocket, and is developing plans for an even larger rocket with 9 engines. You can learn more at the link below. I hope this helps.
