Incredible rocket launch failure in the world (Rocket Failures History)
There have been several notable rocket launch failures. Some of the most infamous ones include:
SpaceX CRS-7 (June 2015): A Falcon 9 rocket carrying a Dragon spacecraft for a resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS) exploded around two minutes after liftoff due to a faulty strut.
VSS Enterprise crash (October 2014): The suborbital spaceplane, VSS Enterprise, suffered a fatal crash during a test flight conducted by Virgin Galactic. The incident resulted in the death of one of the pilots and serious injuries to the other.
Challenger Disaster (January 1986): Space Shuttle Challenger disintegrated 73 seconds after liftoff, resulting in the loss of all seven crew members. The disaster was caused by the failure of an O-ring seal in one of the solid rocket boosters.
Columbia Disaster (February 2003): Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the loss of all seven astronauts on board. The disaster was caused by damage to the shuttle's thermal protection system during launch.
These are just a few examples, and there have been other rocket launch failures throughout history. Space exploration is inherently challenging and risky, and failures, while tragic, are sometimes unavoidable in pushing the boundaries of human exploration and technology. Safety measures, investigations, and improvements are critical in learning from such events to ensure a safer future in space exploration.
