The spacecraft designed to eventually carry astronauts for NASA erupts in an enormous fireball.
A launchpad test of SpaceX's Crew Dragon vehicle - intended to one day fly astronauts to the International Space Station - has ended in flames.
The company acknowledged it had been conducting"a series of engine tests on a Crew Dragon test vehicle" in Cape Canaveral in Florida this weekend. "The initial tests completed successfully but the final test resulted in an anomaly on the test stand," said a statement. Images apparently showing the spacecraft bursting into flames appeared on social media but SpaceX and NASA have so far not commented on them.
