SpaceX rocket detonated in the air, Mr MASKEY: elusive rocket

According to CNN news, Friday, testing rockets in the air over Texas when ended with burning fireball , also means that humans have taken a small step on the journey to Mars.

SpaceX F9R burning debris falling in the air at the McGregor rocket testing base on the perimeter open spaces.

The explosion was neither accident nor a tragedy. Rockets take emergency measures to start the self-destruct program. The unmanned aviation and aerospace operations are common practice. Space exploration technology company said in a statement that, owing to rocket flight suspension system detected anomalies, decided to abort the test automatically and exploding, "no one was hurt or injured."

But to stop passers-by with their cellphone cameras in the vicinity, it was a dramatic fireworks display. CNN reports KWTX reported that Friday's blast site and publish related videos.

All land-related

F9R rocket left the ground without just like Saturn rocket launch spaceships before slowly makes a rumbling sound from the ground. F9R rocket is relatively small, only one level.

According to space exploration technologies Corporation, Falcon 9th F9R rocket is a prototype condensed version. Falcon 9th was the first by a commercial rocket company launches to the international space station. Falcon 9th engine booster rockets were lit nine forest was launched into Earth orbit. But only three engines F9R booster blasted off to altitude of 1000 metres. The height equal to height of the new World Trade Center in New York twice. This is the rocket is a small achievement.

Even more exciting is how the rocket landed, because the landing features F9R can complete a round trip to Mars this mission lays the Foundation. F9R rocket with four landing pad like insect legs. Several Falcon series rocket landing pad before the other or even less, this is also called the grasshopper rocket came from. Up to now, United States sending space rockets are just one way.

Although the capsule carrying astronauts rocket will be landed by parachute, splashed down in the ocean, but their payloads, such as satellites, or stay in space.

Mars, here we come

Reusable rockets that landed far Mars and between Mars and the Earth becomes possible.

From NASA to Mars, 1th, journey to Mars is a vision for the aerospace industry. Mission Mars 1th has designed one way, this means that astronauts unable to return to Earth and eventually died on Mars.

But space exploration technologies Corporation CEO Elon Musk on Mars this vision went even further. According to the company's Web site shows that he envisions will become a human colony on Mars. Space exploration technologies Corporation claimed that recoverable rocket a not-so-charming but there is a more immediate benefit is that this way you can save a lot of money. Large Falcon 9th rocket cost 540 million dollars, which is roughly equivalent to a small second-hand jets price. The difference is, most rockets are launched only once, and the plane is used repeatedly. Space exploration technologies Corporation developed re-usable rocket can greatly reduce the cost of space flight.

Launch failure events often

Even for rocket scientists, the history of rocket science complex, space missions total failure at different stages of implementation. This includes the launch phase, and many of them not in the experimental launch phase. We only have to think back to the 1986 Challenger Space Shuttle exploded 70 seconds after launch, killing all 7 astronauts aboard.

In the middle of May, a Russia satellite during launch failed. Rocket to deviate from the specified orbit caused emergency systems automatically turn off the booster. Rocket had just 100 miles off the ground after combustion in the air crash. Russia there have been at least 4 such so-called "reliable" rocket launch failures.
