The rocket was intentionally blown up with a destruct signal when those at mission control saw that it encountered problems seconds after it took off.

This was done so that it would fall back down onto the launch pad and not into a populated area.

Curious how some of the stories don't even mention that the Antares was using an old Soviet-built engine from 40 years that has had problems like this before.

Did you also know it was from the 60's? Not designed in the 60's, MADE in the 60's and stored somewhere in Siberia for 50+ years. Oh well, at least now it's where it belongs, in the Atlantic Ocean just off the east coast.
