CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (Reuters) - The debut flight of a low-cost launcher developed and financed by Internet billionaire Elon Musk lasted about a minute before the rocket failed due to unknown technical reasons on Friday.
The 70-foot (21-metre), two-stage Falcon 1 rocket was launched at 5:29 p.m. (2229 GMT) from a U.S. base on the Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific Ocean's Marshall Islands.
