Holy Cow! Here, a rocket explodes a few seconds after takeoff
A few seconds after its takeoff, a rocket developed in northern Japan caught fire . The false start of the Momo-2 was produced Saturday in the city of Taiki. The rocket was to be launched up to 100 kilometers in space.
On television footage, the ten-meter long rocket barely took off from its launch pad, then fell to the ground and exploded into a fireball. The MOMO-2 missile, launched by Interstellar Technologies in Japan, was launched in the city of Taiki in Hokkaido but caught fire after a failed launch.
There was no injury in the explosion. #SaturdayMorning ?

Risk of fire with batteries. This is what you do in case of emergency.

The President of Interstellar Technologies is excused for the breakdown. The missile probably had a fault in the main engine, said Takahiro Inagawa. His team will undergo an analysis of the remaining parts of the missile.
Interstellar Technologies began in 2005 as a project of the Japanese entrepreneur Takafumi Horie. The goal was to develop a relatively small, lightweight and inexpensive rocket that would send satellites into space. (sda / ap / vom)

Nothing against a lot of space in the trunk. Nothing against a lot of space for the legs. And nothing against big engines with a lot of power (I drive in private so even one thing).
BUT: Almost nothing is as fun as chasing a small car through the narrow streets of a European metropolis. My first car was a Lancia Y10 from the early '90s. It was just a glorified Fiat Panda. And it was awesome.
Well, the Italians and the French …
