Soyuz MS-10 Launch Failure

A Russian Soyuz FG rocket carrying a veteran cosmonaut and a NASA astronaut on his first space flight blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Thursday for a trip to the International Space Station, but the booster suffered an apparent failure shortly after liftoff, triggering an emergency abort and descent to Earth. The Soyuz MS-10 capsule, carrying cosmonaut Alexey Ovchin and NASA engineer and co-pilot Nick Hague, made an emergency landing after a "ballistic" descent, a normal but steeper-than-usual trajectory back to Earth.

Video only shows the launch...but it's a cool launch.
