SpaceX recoverable launch vehicle Falcon 9R launch failure

According to the Spaceflightnow Web site, the United States time this Friday evening, Texas McGregor, Elon Musk space exploration start-up SpaceX 9R unmanned launch vehicle in the launch soon after the internal failure of the self-destruct, the accident and no casualties. The incident highlights the high risk of space exploration.

Falcon 9R is the third model of the SpaceX's Falcon 9 (Falcon 9th) series, and R represents the rocket's recyclable recycling. The rocket successfully transported the Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station in 2012. October 2013, Falcon 9R completed a 744-metre soft landing test, this May, Falcon 9R just completed a kilometer height of the soft landing test. Since the Falcon 9R can be landed vertically by 4 telescopic arms like a grasshopper, there is a nickname for Grasshopper (Grasshoppers).

The Falcon 9R has 3 engines, according to a statement issued by SpaceX, during the flight, the rocket automatically terminates its activity by detecting an abnormal engine.

Allegedly Musk himself also to McGregor watched the test flight. Musk also mentioned the launch failure of the Rockets and said the rockets were not so easy.

It is because of the high risk of space exploration that more financial support is needed. It is rumored that SpaceX is making 200 million of billions of dollars in financing, and its valuation will reach $10 billion. It is not clear whether the launch will have an impact on financing.
