The rocket erupted in a massive fireball shortly after 9 PM local time, leading to widespread attention but, importantly, no injuries. Video footage from the scene captured a sudden detonation near the rocket’s base, followed by thick smoke ascending the length of the spacecraft before culminating in a bright yellow fireball that completely engulfed it.
