A Chinese rocket narrowly missed a landing on Sunday—the video is amazing

Worth it for the drone footage…

A Chinese space startup conducted what it called a “high-altitude” test flight of its Nebula-1 rocket on Sunday, launching the vehicle to an altitude of about 5 km or so before attempting to land it back at the Ejin Banner Spaceport in Inner Mongolia.

The test flight went well for about two and a half minutes before the vehicle experienced a problem just before landing and erupted into a fireball.
