FULL STORY ======================================================================

Firefly Aerospace's first attempt at getting their Alpha rocket into outer space ended in a spectacular explosion today, and it was thankfully caught on video by a helpful spectator.

A spectator of today's launch by private space company Firefly Aerospace
going by Adrian T on YouTube captured the flight of the company's Alpha
rocket as it took off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California and captured the moment the rocket encountered an anomaly shortly before
exploding into an impressive fireball.
