The fantastic SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket landing An error occurred. An error
SpaceX had a successful mission last night to launch 11 satellites for communications company ORBCOMM to low-Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral, Fla., but most importantly the Falcon 9 rocket had a successful landing back on land after launch!

On Monday many people gathered at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California, amid screams and cheers of people gathered a commentator said, “The Falcon has landed”. Once it leaves Earth’s atmosphere, the first stage separates after its nine rockets burn for around 162 seconds with 1.5 million pounds of thrust.
One response to Bezos’ tweet included a meme which showed the Miss Universe crown being taken off of Miss Colombia, who was wearing a virtual sash that said Blue Origin, and given to Miss Philippines, who was now wearing a sash reading SpaceX.
The landing is a major victory for Elon Musk and his aerospace company as it was the company’s first flight since it rocket exploded about six months ago.
According to reports, the Falcon 9 rocket of SpaceX landed vertically on Monday after launching 11 ORBCOMM satellites. But SpaceX has insisted that each attempt has helped engineers come closer to perfecting the technique.
This is the third time that SpaceX had tried to land its Falcon 9 boosters-the first two times on a floating platform int he Atlantic.

But while SpaceX surpassed Blue Origins’ accomplishment this week, that wasn’t the case back in November when Musk first went off on his Twitter rant. The company’s mission was to make the rocket reusable, which will eventually reduce the cost of space exploration. Excitement and congratulations from all on this spectacular achievement, with some meaningful additions that pointed out the importance of this event in the grand scheme of space travel and the future.
