The rogue rocket on its way to the Moon belongs to a Chinese mission from 2014, which is still on track to impact and contaminate the lunar surface in March.
In March, a piece of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is expected to create a crater on Moon's surface, but don't expect any legal action against Elon Musk yet.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the Transporter-2 mission, carrying dozens of satellites to polar orbit on June 30, 2021. The first stage of the rocket landed at SpaceX's Landing Zone 1 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida minutes later.
The Pentagon is allowing SpaceX to send a national security satellite to orbit with a reused rocket for the first time. SpaceX is set to launch the GPS III SV05 satellite via Falcon 9 soon.
A space advocate has been advising investors and company owners on the potential of space as a field of business. They believe that space in 2050 could already be inhabitable.
SpaceX Falcon 9 took off from Cape Canaveral’s Launch Complex 40 to launch 60 more Starlink satellites into orbit. The starship also nailed the landing.
The upcoming launch will be the third manned flight to the ISS by SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. NASA earlier said that the Crew-2 launch would be no earlier than April 20.
Two Starlinks are originally set to launch roughly four hours apart from each other on Thursday. However, one is rescheduled to allow for additional pre-launch checks.
