The visionary businessman Elon Musk has made a history in launching reusable rockets which make the space exploration cheaper and more accessible. While China reveals the plans to crush SpaceX, the company is focusing on their vision in making human life multi-planetary.
The quiet and smooth landing of the reused Falcon 9 is witnessed by residents of Ohio on Tuesday. The rocket has successfully delivered SES-10 satellite that weighs 11,700-pound which use three separate beams for video and data transmission in Latin America regions, Florida Today reported.
The Falcon 9 re-launch mission is highly considered as a breakthrough in spaceflight because rocket reusability is a critical component to lower down costs of space exploration. Re-launch of used rockets is the key to making human life multi-planetary based on SpaceX basic principle.
Taking humans to Mars is now being considered possible because of the wide availability of flights for partners e.g. NASA. Through reusability method, trips to Mars is no longer a one-way trip which means whoever leaves can always come back to the Earth anytime.
The successful Falcon 9 mission also opens the door for commercial space travel. Since the reusable rocket is proven to be feasible in terms of technology, it is likely to become a new norm in the same way people sees today's modern commercial airlines, Science Alert reported.
Meanwhile, SpaceX is looking forward to the launching of another two rockets this month of April. The Falcon 9 from KSC and Cygnus Spacecraft which are slated to launching in April 16 and April 18, respectively.
On the other hand, while SpaceX is making a spaceflight breakthrough, China reveals their plan to get to Mars ahead of rivals. China's President Xi Jinping is reportedly willing to invest in 21st-century technologies such as aerospace, robotics, artificial intelligence and big data analytics to have space power in the early 2030's.
