SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket grounded after mishap in space, leaving fate of upcoming missions uncertain | CBC News
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket experienced a mishap in space, causing the Federal Aviation Administration to ground the rocket, potentially delaying an ambitious private mission that would see the first commercial spacewalk.
It appeared that some liquid was leaking from the spacecraft, forming ice crystals, with chunks periodically breaking free, being obliterated by heat coming from the nozzle of the engine behind it.
