🚀 It was supposed to be a moment of triumph for China’s #space industry. The 180ft Long March 3B rocket stood on the launch pad, ready to carry an American-made satellite into orbit on its debut mission. But just seconds after blast-off it was clear something had gone horribly wrong. In grainy video footage, the rocket is seen veering hard to the left, barely clearing the tower and torpedoing off into the night at a right angle. It landed in the nearby village of Mayelin, near China’s Xichang Launch Centre, creating a huge fireball that flattened buildings and drenched the landscape in rocket fuel. Footage smuggled out by an Israeli engineer shows an apocalyptic landscape. In China’s official account of the incident, six people died – although US defence officials estimated the true number was in the hundreds.

Amid this explosive growth, China’s space industry has been dogged by a history of near-misses and environmentally damaging missions. Read the full story here👇 https://lnkd.in/e9AAH6T8
