Maybe you've gotten a bit blasé about rocket landings. SpaceX has pulled off more than 40 of them during orbital launches, after all, and Blue Origin has done it 10 times on test flights of its New Shepard suborbital vehicle.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC) -But returning from space, barreling through Earth's thick atmosphere and ultimately settling gently onto a tiny landing pad is still a jaw-dropping achievement, as a newly released video makes very clear.
The video shows the first stage of SpaceX's two-stage Falcon 9 rocket coming home after launching the company's robotic Dragon capsule on a cargo run to the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday (July 25).
We see the dramatic downward journey, which generated two separate sonic booms, from four different angles — including a rocket's-eye view, courtesy of a camera aboard the booster.
