The Kennedy Space Center is commonly a scientific spectacle of what was going up in space, but in late June, eyes turned once again to the space center because of what was falling from the skies.

The ill-fated SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was set for its course toward the International Space Station to drop off some supplies, then land off to the coast of Jacksonville. Sadly, after three minutes of the launch sequence, the rocket exploded mid-air.

An FCN report quoted Space X founder and CEO Elon Musk as saying that it's a huge blow to SpaceX, as they take these missions seriously.

Falcon 9 made it through the initial launch stage, but encountered some problem after that.

Musk also tweeted that "an overpressure event in the upper stage liquid oxygen tank" caused the failure, reported Newsweek. More information was still forthcoming upon thorough analysis.

SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell added in a midday press conference that it is too early to know the exact cause. They understand the necessity of rigorous analysis of failed missions in order to rectify system failures.

So far, Vocal Republic reported that there isn't a sole idea that can point out what went wrong prior to the rocket's separation about 2-1/two minutes after start off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

The world is still waiting about the root cause of the explosion after watching SpaceX Falcon 9 blew into smithereens more than two weeks ago. There is still no clear theory that could give this mystery closure.

Although SpaceX had six successful missions to the ISS before, this blight seems to overshadow its previous accomplishments. This could perhaps remind us of the difficult challenges in space exploration. While new technology develops, it should not give us an excuse to remain complacent, rather, we need to be always on our toes even more.
