Brazil has successfully launched its first rocket into space, 14 months after an accident at a similar takeoff killed more than 20 people.The accident, over a year ago, was a horrific one: a premature ignition while technicians were working on the booster.
The rocket was launched from the a site near the equator.
Brazil says it hopes the success of the mission will boost plans to build 15 rockets to sell rockets to the European space agency.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
