Yeah, just saw it on the news.
Apparently it was an Orbital Sciences Corp. Antares rocket. It blew up right over the pad in a spectacular fireball. I don't know if the pad was damaged and if it was, how that will effect future scheduled launches. This isn't going to help if they are planning to get the Antares man-rated. Rockets have to have very good reliability records before NASA will consider flying astronauts on them. |
