This is the third flight of the SpaceX rocket and it has failed like the first two.
Elon Musk (PayPal cofounder) has suffered his third setback with the SpaceX Falcon 1 rocket.
"This was the third flight of a Falcon booster, none of which have worked so far. The first rocket exploded in mid flight after a fuel leak and the second made it into space before contact was lost."
Star Trek's Scotty remains have also been lost although a ship from the Kwajalein Atoll is looking for items aboard the rocket.
