SpaceX rocket explodes over Texas



By Taylor Hatmaker

A SpaceX rocket appears to have exploded during a test launch at its facility near McGregor, Texas. Reports popping up from McGregor locals who witnessed the failed launch suggest that the test spacecraft was one of SpaceX's unmanned Falcon 9 Reusable rockets (F9R), which were due to undergo tests at low altitudes. 


SpaceX just issued a formal statement addressing the launch via its official Twitter account.
