Russians have been marking the 50th anniversary of the worst-ever accident linked to space exploration.


More than 120 people died in a launch pad explosion, which happened in the Soviet Union in 1960.


They were burned alive...some vapourised...when an experimental rocket went wrong.


The Russians kept details of the incident secret until the 1990s.
