Video of South Korean rocket's last moments before crash


Reports say a South Korean rocket have exploded in flight. The crash happened just minutes after blast-off. It comes just the day after its launch was postponed due to a glitch in the fire-extinguishing system. The rocket was carrying a science satellite to study climate change. It's a major setback to South Korea which is trying to beef up its space program to compete with China, India and Japan. It is the country's second attempt to put a satellite in orbit after a failed launch last year.
