> The rocket began its vertical trajectory as planned after liftoff [Monday] at 10:13 p.m. local time (0113 GMT) but fell to the ground after something went wrong 30 seconds into its flight, Innospace CEO Kim Soo-jong said in a letter to shareholders.
>
> The craft crashed within a pre-designated safety zone and did not harm anyone, he said. Brazil's air force said firefighters were sent to analyze the wreckage and impact zone. "We are deeply sorry that we failed to meet the expectations of our shareholders who supported our first commercial launch," the CEO wrote in the letter, which was posted on the company's website on December 23. Innospace shares plunged nearly 29% in Seoul in its biggest daily drop and heaviest daily trading volume since its July 2024 listing.

Laugh at it all you want, but in the end this failure put the man on the moon.

It would appear that rocket science is still as hard as ever. It should come as no surprise that the maiden launch of a new rocket will probably fail. Gather that data and try again.

Apparently those Brazilian rocket scientists are no brain surgeons.
Asians apologize too much (Score:2)
It doesnâ(TM)t benefit anyone to apologize. People see it as a sign of weakness. Even if you are sorry.
And this happend to SpaceX how many times? (Score:2)
Just saying, they need to stand up, figure it out and try it again. .. but perhaps with a cost effective dummy payload instead.
