I guess the Germans should have stuck to their V-2 rockets. Sucks to be them, but it did make for a pretty cool video.

First orbital rocket launched from mainland Europe crashes after takeoff​

"A test rocket intended to kickstart satellite launches from Europe fell to the ground and exploded less than a minute after takeoff from Norway on Sunday, in what the German startup Isar Aerospace had described as an initial test.

The Spectrum started smoking from its sides and crashed back to Earth in a powerful explosion just after its launch from from the Andøya spaceport in the Arctic. Images were broadcast live on YouTube..."

Excellent. Congrats Isar Aerospace. This was more and better than I expected. Was this a simulated defect or a real defect?
