On January 16, it should have marked a historic milestone in the air exploration industry if SpaceX (the company of billionaire Elon Musk) can successfully land the 1st floor rocket to reuse. Unfortunately, this rocket exploded when nearly reaching its goal.

The Elon Musk's first-floor re-use of the rocket project for Elon Musk's spacecraft suffered a heavy defeat on January 16: the Falcon 9 missile equipped by SpaceX for the CRS-5 spacecraft wings in a state of tilt, flip and quickly explode, crumbling into pieces.

By the end of last week, SpaceX decided to post the video back to the last moments of the rocket on both Twitter and Vine video sharing networks. It seems, in the process of bringing this first-stage rocket to the landing platform, the rudders for the purpose of landing have stopped working, causing the missile to overturn. The engines were activated to help the rocket regain its balance, but ultimately failed.

The last Falcon 9 rocket landed at a 45 degree angle. The fire burned from fuel and oxygen still inside, causing the Falcon 9 to explode.

According to Elon Musk, the landing area was not significantly damaged. In addition, the ship containing Dragon (launched by Falcon 9) has also completed its voyage and supplied supplies to the ISS space station on the second day of last week, as expected.

However, the most famous technology billionaire in 2014 still considers the January 16 event a success. Although the Falcon 9 rocket still exploded, the ability to bring this rocket to the landing area was still admirable. SpaceX's official website claims the company has taken a step closer to the final destination of its reusable rocket-building mission, a step that could help cut hundreds of millions of dollars spent. charges for future tasks.

After that, Elon Musk also announced that it would soon test another design for re-used rockets within the next 2-3 weeks.
