馬斯克受挫 SpaceX獵鷹9號火箭空中爆炸
An unmanned American Falcon-9 rocket has broken apart in flames minutes after lifting off from Cape Canaveral in Florida.
美國獵鷹9號火箭從佛羅里達州卡納維拉爾角基地發射後數分鐘內爆炸解體。該火箭並未載有乘員。
Debris from the SpaceX vehicle tumbled out of the sky into the Atlantic Ocean.
SpaceX飛船的碎片墜入大西洋。
The rocket, which had 18 straight successes prior to Sunday's flight, was in the process of sending a cargo ship to the International Space Station.
週日，獵鷹9號火箭要將貨運飛船送上國際空間站，此前它連續18次發射成功。
The US space agency (Nasa) says important supplies have been lost but the orbiting lab's crew is secure.
美國宇航局稱，重要的補給已經遺失，但軌道空間站的宇航員們安然無恙。
Even now, the three astronauts have sufficient stores of food, water and equipment to operate until late October, and there should be visits from Russian and Japanese freighters before then.
即便如此，3名宇航員擁有的食物、水和設備仍足以維持到十月末，在那之前俄羅斯和日本的貨運飛船將會抵達空間站。
The problem occurred 139 seconds into the flight, just before the first-stage of the rocket was about to separate from the upper-stage, or top segment of the Falcon-9.
事故發生在升空後的139秒，當時一級火箭正從獵鷹9號的上層部分脫離。
"The vehicle has broken up," said Nasa commentator George Diller, as TV images showed the white rocket falling to pieces.
當電視畫面顯示白色的火箭碎裂時，美國宇航局解說員喬治·迪勒說：“飛船已經解體。”
"We appear to have had a launch vehicle failure," he added.
他補充道：“看起來我們的飛船發射失敗了。”
"There was an overpressure event in the upper-stage liquid oxygen tank," tweeted SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.
SapceX的CEO埃隆·馬斯克在推特上寫道：“上層的液氧艙發生了壓力過大的問題。”
