The Japan Times reported that hundreds of spectators gathered for the June 30 liftoff on the island of Hokkaido. The launch was supposed to send the one ton rocket to touch the edge of space before its planned fall back down to Earth and into the Pacific Ocean. Instead, after just a few seconds of flight, the rocket's main engine appeared to lose power momentarily; then the spacecraft plummeted back to the launch pad and exploded.
On Wednesday, Interstellar Technologies released the above video of the rocket's premature fall, showing you the crash from a number of previously unseen angles, including views from onboard cameras.
