NASA is looking at its options after a rocket explosion after launching Sunday in Florida.

The rocket was sending supplies to the international space station, including food, care packages, spacewalking equipment and other technical gear.

NASA has said in a statement that they regret the loss of the rocket and its supplies, however they are comfortable with the knowledge that the astronauts on the Space Station have enough supplies for another few months.

If the astronauts do get low on supplies, there is the option of them returning to Earth in another ship.

The 'Falcon 9' rocket that exploded on Sunday was unmanned.
