On May 22, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched seven satellites—including two from NASA—from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The rocket’s nine Merlin engines roared to life, blasting the Falcon up toward space and spewing incredible heat below.
A quarter of a mile away, NASA photographer Bill Ingalls had set up a remote camera to catch the action. But, when he returned to retrieve it, firefighters were waiting. What was once a fancy camera was now a lump of charred and twisted plastic.
