Russian Soyuz Rocket Fail

October 11, 2018
A Russian rocket named the Soyuz attempted to carry NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin to the ISS.

After a couple minutes of flight the Soyuz suffered a major failure in the rocket’s booster. The failure set the rocket onto a re-entry course.

The astronauts landed safely and were picked up by a search and rescue team. This just goes to show that space flight is still very dangerous today.
