SpaceX rocket explodes minutes following launch

News SpaceX’s rocket designed to go on a round-the-world trip exploded Thursday exploded four minutes following its launch.

The 120-meter rocket fall in the Gulf of Mexico, near to its initial launching point at the southern side of Texas.

Luckily, the rocket did not have passengers or satellites aboard. Future plans for the spacecraft include transporting people and objects to the moon and, at a later stage, Mars. The rocket is designed to be fully reusable, lowering its cost drastically.
