SpaceX released drone footage of its flawless rocket landing Saturday, and it’s absolutely stunning.
The two-stage Falcon 9 rocket was returning to Earth after putting into space a capsule carrying 5,000 pounds of supplies and scientific equipment to the International Space Station (ISS). The rocket touched down Saturday at SpaceX’s Landing Zone 1 in Cape Canaveral, Fla.
The rocket’s capsule will dock with the ISS Wednesday.
This was SpaceX’s second successful launch and landing since a September 2016 explosion destroyed one of its rockets on the launch pad. SpaceX’s business rivals at the defense contractor United Launch Alliance predicted it could take SpaceX up to a year to return to outer space after the explosion.
