Not exploded for the first time: SpaceX rocket successfully landed

Four SpaceX missiles have exploded – one has now made it. Shortly after landing, the video broadcast still showed flames at the foot of the SN-15 rocket, which a SpaceX commentator described as not unusual. All four previous models exploded, some spectacularly, on landing.

The flames were quickly extinguished after touching down. The aim of the tests was a gentle vertical landing of the 50 meter long rocket. SpaceX uses desert-like terrain in the US state of Texas for the test flights.
