One of NASA's moon landers, known as Morpheus, crashed and caught fire during its first free-flight test.
The good news is no one was hurt. The bad news, according to the AP, is that NASA spokeswoman Lisa Malone "says it appears that the methane-powered Morpheus lander is a total loss."
NASA was live streaming the test and the video shows the spacecraft start hovering and then slowly tip over, crash into the ground and erupt into flames. Seconds later, an explosion is heard.
