WOW! SpaceX releases dramatic video of rocket crash-landing on ocean barge
HAWTHORNE, Calif. (AP) — SpaceX has released dramatic footage of its booster rocket trying to land on a floating barge in the Atlantic after a launch — an unprecedented attempt that ended in a fiery explosion.The video released Friday shows the rocket hitting the football field-sized barge at an angle, lighting up the night sky off the Florida coast.https://vine.co/v/OjqeYWWpVWKSaturday's landing attempt came minutes after separation from the main rocket that successfully launched groceries and science experiments to the International Space Station.After the loss, SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted: "Close, but no cigar this time." He said the impact smashed the rocket's legs and engine section.The Southern California-based company attempted the touchdown because it wants to launch reusable rockets to bring down costs.
