Meanwhile in Norway today...

This is the moment a test rocket crashed back to Earth just moments after launching in Norway on Sunday (March 30).

Footage shows the unmanned Spectrum rocket lifting off from a Norwegian spaceport before losing control 18 seconds into flight and crashing into the sea.

The launch aimed to build Europe's satellite-launch capabilities and was the first attempt at an orbital flight from mainland Europe.

Despite the failure, Isar Aerospace, the German start-up that developed the rocket, said 30 seconds of flight provided valuable data.
