1:44Now PlayingSpaceX has blown up a rocket to test an astronaut escape system as part of the company's final trial before it can fly manned missions.
A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral a day later than originally scheduled due to bad weather - and was attached to a Dragon crew capsule containing two mannequins.
SpaceX now hopes its next mission flying the Dragon capsule will have astronauts inside. That would mark the first time since 2011 that NASA astronauts have launched from the US after the end of the space shuttle programme.
