it was fun office space ex most high profile launches today it the largest the spacecraft ever built. hurtling towards the sky. the latest, the step towards corner alone must vision of reaching mars to rock had sought almost 40 kilometers high until the booster failed to separate from the main body. hour was i thing on the k ah, experts believe is basics. his reason to see the launch is a success this broke this just a completely new design. it's a real departure from things that have been flown in the past. and so they were not expecting it to be fully successful. you have to debug these things and, and so if they prove several things, they prove that the engines could far properly with using this new b. thank you. oh, they proved that the rocket can fly through what's called max q,

the area, which is sort of roughest from turbulence. right? that, that could crumpled the rock if it wasn't built strong enough. and they proved it could fly and vaguely the right direction. i just couldn't separate, i fly, not a separate from his oper stage. the explosion also did little to dampen the and to see as them of the crowd gather to see the launch. yeah. oh hey. hey. i got this. it was blew up in visual range, which is yeah, hey, that's bad, but it's also great. i had to actually see the whole flight. the 19 was it 900? 68 or 69. i was 89 years old, and i sat in colorado and watched him walk on the moon. so how much fun will that be before i die? to watch him walk on mars, for instance. the 2 must do it in the next step will be in a few months time. the spectators won't have to wait long until the space ex, again reaches for the stars. keith carrying is the editor of space

ref dot com is based in washington dc. and i asked him whether the launch should be seen as a success, despite the explosion. well, as a former recovery, rocket scientist, myself, i guess is what i'm called. um, any time you have a rocket, here's my prop that takes off like this doesn't blow up in the launch pad. keeps going for like 2 or 3 minutes. the all with engines firing and so forth. on that. if it's the 1st time you've ever done it with the biggest rocket, anybody's ever built times to, i would be happy that i got that 2 minutes. however, you know, stuff happened at the, at the upper end of the flight were the 2nd stage and detached it came back down that had to destroy it. but you know, if you're going to do something spectacular like this for the 1st time, i'm sure everybody a, you heard him sharing at the end. i were really happy. they got as far as they did . do, do we know exactly what went wrong?

i daven said so yet i'm just looking at it the rocket. i'm using a visual again was to started the tumble when it should have been going like this. so at some point the rocket will start to tear itself apart and they destroyed it. i don't know, some engines didn't work. i don't know if the supper i don't know. at b, e loan will tell us because he tells us everything. right. we know this is the largest spacecraft. it's an expert, an expensive experiment to even have a blow up. how does the style of this method compared to, for example, the way the europeans test? well, let me just say europeans or american governments, if, for example, if a big rock like this built by nasa or isa took off for the 1st time and blew up like this. huge have hearings before our congress or your parliament. i mean, it would be a disaster, people be fired, but this is a consumer product. it's designed to be tested and blown,

and tested and flown. and i jokingly called it a toaster to day because, you know, if they knew that they'd have problems with it. and again, if you look else basics has done things. they will blooper reel and they actually, you know, it blew up good. but next time it won't, and yet with the government rockets that are in the way that things are normally john, you'd have hue and cry and complaints and all that sort of thing. so this is a paradigm ship. we're watching in real time going from single giant expensive rockets to rockets that can be tested blown up and test until they get it right. i and what's the end goal it essentially with, with astonishing. well, it's a big a rocket, which means you can watch bigger things. it is going to be made like again a consumer products will be much cheaper. and so you got to ask yourself, what did you do before federal express? and what happens with the rocket, isn't the most expensive part of sending something into space? it whole do economies open up and i think that's where on the verge of that right

now. as long as i make this rocket work that is that was keith cowering editor space ref dot com. so let's take a look now at some of the stories making news around the world. us, prosecutors say that dropping an involuntary manslaughter charge against the actor, alec baldwin. he was charged over the fatal shooting of cinematographer. alina hutchings, on the set of the western rust. prosecutors say the charges against the films weapon supervisor remain strikes at 3 major airports in germany. disrupted hundreds of flights and left tens of thousands of air travelers, stranded on thursday to more airports of joined the walk out on friday. along with germany's long distance railway workers transport unions are demanding more pay to cover the rising cost of living. nato secretary general yen st oldenburg, has made his 1st visit to ukraine since the russian invasion. it's

a show of support as keith repairs for a widely expected counter offensive. a starter berg paid his respects to fallen ukrainian soldiers and reviewed damage russian military equipment. a long line of western leaders have made the trip to keith and to this square where ukraine proudly displays destroyed russian tanks. on thursday, it was the turn of nato chief yen stockton back, his 1st visit to ukraine. since the russian invasion, president de lensky highlighted the symbolism of staten bags, arrival. only one group to see if we see this as a sign. consider it a sign, a sign that nature is ready to open. a new chapter. ukraine is pushing to join the alliance. here in the capitals europe square, the nato emblem towers above all else. but members have been wary about letting ukraine in, in 2008 at a summit in bucharest, ukraine's membership was shelved as

a question for the future. at the insistence of van german chancellor anglin merkel with russia's invasion ukraine, joining nato seemed more unlikely than ever. last september, ukraine submitted a new application for a fast tracked membership, but it find few supporters in the alliance. the commander in chief of the estonian army was one of the few liberators disinvite to sean, and they're already in nato ami about oh, and they have values which are also very western of business, especially when it comes to our community values windshield. it was it, marcia, i am firmly convinced that ukraine must be granted a position in the ear and nature. your own local walls started. laura gave no concrete answer as to whether the decision would change any time soon, though he did speak of the importance of natal membership. let me be clear.

ukraine's rightful place is in the euro plant. the family, ukraine's rightful place is in natal, a possible accession will be a primary topic at the upcoming nato summit in july. fierce opposition is expected from the kremlin kremlin spokesman dmitri pasco says natal membership for ukraine, which was a serious threat to russia and security. but russia's attacks, a new crane remain, a powerful force driving ukraine and nato. together. a mysterious flash of light above cave has people in ukraine puzzled over its cause. at a time when the country is face bombardment from russian forces, this powerful glow didn't strike fear among ukrainians. instead, it's been the subject of widespread speculation. a bright flash and

a ball of light shoots across the night sky. ukrainian authorities initially declared an air ride alarm in the capitol cave. later they confirmed that it was not an attack. the mysterious flesh has left cave residence, puzzled. if it wasn't a russian missile or drone. what was it that below what that is, that it was creepy because there was no air raid sirens that have all those if you have you feel prepared when there's an alert, but without it, it was scary to me. so i don't understand why just happened, those are the ones that were when the bullet rosco. so if it was aliens, there would be shocked by what's happening in ukraine, that people on our planet fired each other for territories, mr. boyer. that that he thought he might have several. yeah. maybe it was

a flesh. oh cool. paula. from a hopefully between it would be great. but if it is some kind of a sign for a soccer kebraw goes her heart and i said, oh boy is magdalana ukrainian. officials say the flash was probably caused by a meteorite entering the earth's atmosphere. others speculate that it was a falling us satellite. but nasa has dismissed that theory. for now, the blinding flesh of a cave remains an unsolved mystery. that's it for me to get more on our website d, w dot com. thanks with imagine how many pushed in a 3rd out in the world. climate change very often story. this is my plan, the way from just one week. how much work can really get.
