Yesterday, we watched the magnificent lift-off of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket as it hauled supplies to the International Space Station. What wasn’t broadcast live was the attempt to land the first stage of the rocket on a drone barge in the Atlantic Ocean.

Now, footage has been released from a chase plane that shows the failed landing and explosion. The landing was unfortunately a bit too hard. Better luck next time.

SpaceX’s Elon Musk says they’ll try again before the year is out.

Watch, AFTER THE JUMP…
