Experimental Air Force rocket launch fails
An experimental Air Force rocket, dubbed Super Strypi, failed seconds after launch today.
The rocket is launched from a rail track rather thabn vertically on a launchpad, and is intended to lower the cost significantly. From the video at the link, it appears that the rail track portion of the flight worked fine, but shortly thereafter the rocket lost control.
