Unmanned NASA SpaceX Rocket Explodes After Liftoff [VIDEO]

It's being reported that an unmanned rocket, a NASA SpaceX rocket, has exploded shortly after liftoff. A video, which can be seen below, shows the rocket carrying various supplies set for the International Space Station located in, um, space. Unfortunately, the rocket never made it because, like we said, it blew up.

Luckily, no one was inside.

NASA explains that the accident occurred after the rocket had taken off from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Numerous pieces reportedly fell into the Atlantic Ocean, per a piece from The Huffington Post.

Take a look at the actual accident from Instagram below:
