Chinese Attempt to Launch Satellite Into Orbit Fails

Gizmodo reports The craft that would have been the first private Chinese rocket to deliver a satellite into orbit around the Earth failed on Saturday. Something went wrong with the Landspace Zhuque-1's third-stage deployment. It’s not clear exactly what went wrong, though videos of the incident make clear that its payload—a satellite called “Future” that was intended to be used in operations for the state-run China Central Television network—didn’t really appear to have much chance of reaching orbit.
