NEW: Chinese rocket which was developed to rival Musk’s Space X, crashes into a mountain side. The Tianlong-3 rocket accidentally lifted off during a static fire test according to The Telegraph. After launching into the air, the rocket was seen falling back to Earth, exploding into the mountainside near the city of Gongyi in Henan Province. The rocket was owned by private Chinese business Space Pioneer. Space Pioneer claims a “structural failure” of the launch moorings which were supposed to hold the rocket in place resulted in the accidental launch. Reports say there are no casualties at this moment.

🚨BREAKING! Japan's SpaceOne KAIROS Rocket Launch Ends In Failure🚨 Space One’s KAIROS No. 3 rocket suffered an anomaly during first stage flight following liftoff on March 5, 2026 at 11:10 a.m. local time from the Kii Spaceport in Japan. According to the company, the vehicle experienced a major issue during ascent which led teams to determine that mission success was no longer possible. Flight controllers then activated the Flight Termination System (FTS) to safely end the mission. Video from the launch shows an explosion during first stage flight, after which the rocket began spinning out of control before breaking apart. Space One released the following statement: “Kairos No. 3 was launched on March 5, 2026, at 11:10:00 a.m., but we determined that mission success was difficult and implemented flight termination measures. Details are currently under investigation.” This marks another setback for the KAIROS launch vehicle, as the company continues working toward establishing Japan’s first private orbital launch capability.

ICYMI: Blue Origin rocket explodes in massive fireball on Florida launch pad. During a critical engine firing test last night, the powerful vehicle went up in flames, engulfing the site. Jeff Bezos confirmed all personnel are safe, but it's too early to know what went wrong. The rocket was slated to carry 48 satellites into orbit, now a painful setback for Blue Origin, fresh off a $188 million NASA contract for lunar terrain vehicles.
