Was SpaceX rocket hit by a drone?

• dailystar.co.uk By Joshua Nevett

Now conspiracy theorists are claiming the space rocket was "attacked".

The "reusable" rocket was destroyed after suffering a catastrophic explosion on launch at Cape Canaveral in Florida, US on Thursday.

The huge blast, which caused no injuries, ripped through the rocket during a pre-launch check – sending plumes of thick black smoke into the air.

Billionaire SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the cause of the explosion, which was caught on camera, is still unknown.
