The first orbital rocket made and designed in Australia crashed 14 seconds after lift-off during its first test launch.

Videos show the Eris rocket, launched by Gilmour Space Technologies, lifting off the ground before losing momentum and crashing.

After this effort, the camera operator for the first shot in the video needs a new job. Perhaps something less complicated that doesn't involve movement, like say filming a rock.
