A steel ladder bound to the rocket’s launch ramp. So it will make it much easier for him to enter the rocket’s cockpit. When the rocket launched, it hit the ladder and set the launch on course for disaster.

Justin Chapman, a freelance journalist, said that “ it ripped a parachute can, which deployed the parachute, which got caught in the thrust of the rocket and kind of took the rocket off course a little bit”.

Around 50 to 60 people are there to watch the event including a member of the Science Channel who was documenting the launch of a homemade rocket as a part of a series on homemade astronauts.
