The mission is considered a huge triumph for SpaceX, the company led by billionaire Elon Musk. At the moment, most rockets fall into the sea or burn up in the atmosphere after flight, making it impossible for them to return to their launchpad. It was designed and manufactured by US Space Company SpaceX for the reliable and safe transport of satellites and the Dragon spacecraft into orbit. SpaceX spent months correcting the problem and improving the unmanned rocket. “No one has ever brought a booster, an orbital-class booster, back intact”. This time, Musk opted for a true land touchdown.
