Rocket Explosion Delays Maiden Flight

Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA) has postponed the first launch of its RFA ONE rocket after a major setback during a ground test.

The rocket's first stage was destroyed when an engine malfunction caused a fire that spread to other engines, resulting in a catastrophic explosion.

RFA is investigating the cause of the fire, which they believe was related to a problem with the oxygen pump in one of the engines.

The company is now working on rebuilding the rocket with improved safety features to prevent future accidents.
