SpaceX’s rocket Falcon 9 did a successful launch and landing in December. The landing was very critical for the future of space travel. Blue Origin; another space company that is belong the Jeff Bezos, made a successful landing also, but Falcon 9 also had a cargo in it. That is why SpaceX’s launch was a little bit more important than Blue Origin’s. Also, Elon Musk’s SpaceX became the first private corporation that will carry cargos and astronauts for Nasa to ISS.

After the launch which done in December, the company will try to land Falcon 9 rocket to a moving drone platform that is middle of the ocean. But why they are attempting to land the rocket on a moving platform. It is already a hard process, why to make it harder. The reason that the company want to use a mobile landing platform is; it means more flexibility in when and how launch can proceed. It is not always possible for the rocket to return to a site that is safe to land. Weather conditions might change during the launch or landing. So a moving platform could be a safe place for the rocket, and can be more fuel-efficient for the rocket to come down.
This was the first try of SpaceX rocket to land on the platform which is middle of the sea.
