Washington - A mysterious but apparently serious incident occurred Saturday in Cape Canaveral, Florida involving the SpaceX capsule intended to carry American astronauts into space late this year, the private company and NASA announced.
A photo on the Florida Today website showed large amounts of smoke pouring out of the test site, and there was speculation about a possible explosion, but neither SpaceX nor NASA would provide any immediate detail."This is why we test," he added."We will learn, make the necessary adjustments and safely move forward."
NASA called the flight"a major milestone," and it raised hopes that the Crew Dragon's first manned flight could take place before year's end.
