Chinese rocket explodes hours after launch

The launch of a new type of Chinese rocket rocket was a failure on Sunday evening.

The Chinese space organization wanted to say little about the cause of the explosion and held it in an 'irregularity' that needs further investigation. '

The failed launch of the Long Mars 5 may have consequences for China's moon program. According to the plan, a rocket of this type has to facilitate an unmanned lunar landing this year, which must then form the basis for a manned lunar mission in the future.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has labeled his country's space as the 'top priority for strengthening national security and defense. '
