• Antares Rocket Explosion Is a $200-Million Disaster for NASA to Investigate

    When NASA's Antares rocket launched from its pad on Wallop's Island, Virginia, yesterday, onlookers were stunned when it exploded just six seconds later. The unmanned rocket was supposedly headed for the International Space Station with 5,000 pounds of cargo on board, but instead it ended up being destroyed with the push of a button from a command center once it began to break apart in mid-air. Nearly a million pounds of fuel exploded, leaving investigators and NASA to figure out what went so horribly wrong in the $200 million disaster.
