The video above shows another successful test for SpaceX. The test that was successful was known as the “divert test”. The rocket flew vertically 250 meters in the air. Then, the rocket moved laterally 100 meters, then moved back to the landing pad. The importance of a reusable rocket is so companies like SpaceX or government agencies like NASA don’t need to remake a rocket for every single mission. This will cut down costs when space travel will become more frequent in the near future.
