SpaceX: SpaceX, the spaceflight company run by billionaire super genius Elon Musk, has successfully landed its powerful Falcon 9 rocket in an upright position without crashing. The rocket landed successfully in Cape Canaveral, Florida. It’s SpaceX first return to flight since one of its rockets blew up in June. The first stage of the rocket appeared to settle down firmly and stick the landing. For the latest launch, the rocket stage flew to about 75 kilometers before turning around, leaving the rest of the rocket to deliver a package of satellites into low-Earth orbit. 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. NASA said in a tweet.

With harsh winter weather setting in, any widespread destruction of buildings and houses would create severe hardship. Possibility have been predicted of having the quake in any Northern India or Pakistan’s city as the epic centre.
Multiple space companies were competing to achieve this breakthrough, but SpaceX is the first to succeed in landing a rocket for a non-suborbital trip. As this technology develops, it will make recreational space travel, new manned expeditions to the Moon, and even to Mars, considerably more cost-effective.
