Answer

Brief Explanations:

A run - on sentence combines two or more independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunctions. Here, "On October 28, 2014, a rocket bound for the International Space Station exploded" and "It was carrying five thousand pounds of supplies, including more than one thousand pounds of food for astronauts" are two independent clauses joined only by a comma, which is a comma - splice (a type of run - on).

Answer:

yes
