A scale model of a Japanese next generation supersonic jetliner explodes shortly after it was launched at Woomera Rocket Range in Woomera, Australia Sunday, July 14, 2002. The disastrous end to the first test of the Japan's National Experimental Supersonic Transport, or NEXST, came just seconds after its takeoff. Nobody was injured in the crash as both the rocket and the model plane were unmanned. (AP Photo/ Peter Mathew)
