SpaceX rocket explodes-2

An explosion destroyed a rocket that belonged to Elon Musk's spaceX called the Falcon 9, in Cape Canaveral Air Force station. It destroyed everything in it and on it and collapsed from head to toe. it was a routine test for firing at Cape Canaveral, it was meant to blast off and place a satellite in orbit. Luckily no injuries but during the fire the loss of a communications satellite owned by Israel was destroyed, it was meant to expand internet access in Africa. The cause is still unknown. Space X was founded in 2002 and began launching June of 2010, since then it has had 27 successful flights and only one launch accident that destroyed a load of cargo. Scientist are looking into the cause of the destruction and are hoping to have more success in the next year.
