The launch of a rocket by a private Japanese venture was cut short after liftoff Sunday due to a communications failure.
Hundreds of spectators gathered to watch, applauding as the rocket took off from a launching pad on Japan’s northern main island of Hokkaido.
The rocket’s developers, Interstellar Technologies, said they aborted the launch after about 80 seconds and it landed about 8 kilometers offshore.
