A massive burst seen over Virginia in the US over the weekend was probably the 2nd stage from a RussianSoyuz rocket engine , used to boost satellite and supply up into space for residents of the International Space Station . According to experts , it was probably the second stage of the rocket , jettisoned into the atmosphere after lifting the payload into orbital cavity .
Soyuz rockets also deliver cargo vessel to the ISS , which stay put attach to the station until they ’re fulfil with garbage and then are jettisoned back into Earth ’s air . So just be glad that explosion over Virginia was simply a skyrocket , and not a immense flame ball of astronaut poop .
