It look's like a scene from a blockbuster movie, a rocket gently touching down on the Earth's surface in perfect reusable condition. Excitingly it's not! SpaceX successfully launched their Falcon 9 rocket into low orbit and re-entered the atmosphere continuing to this graceful landing.
Now if a reusable self landing rocket wasn't exciting enough, what the Falcon 9 was carrying will be life changing. A module called the Blue Origin was fixed to the top and released in orbit, with it gradually falling back to Earth to make a safe landing using several parachutes.
Why is that exciting? Because the Blue Origin is designed for human space flight. As displayed in the short animation within the video, being aboard the module will allow humans to witness the breathtaking view of our planet Earth, while experiencing the weightlessness of space.
Now, are you ready for the most amazing part, you can subscribe to the waiting list for prices and launch information for when this becomes publicly available... Just click here.
