SpaceX attached a GoPro in a Falcon 9 rocket and caught an amazing video of the Earth.
Gizmodo reported that Space X is a California-based commercial company aims to launch cargo, and in the long run people, to the low orbit of the Earth. The company has launched Falcon 9 booster and Dragon capsule under agreements with Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program and NASA's Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) program.

The Elon Musk's firm SpaceX uploads a lot of videos of its spacecraft and rockets, and much of the video showing those blasting rockets into space.
Gizmodo explained that they decided to use Johan Strauss II's "Blue Danube" as the background music like in "2001: A Space Odyssey," featuring the space-station docking and lunar landing. SpaceX recorded a history as the first corporate-rocket firm to dock with the International Space Station. It is presently examining the spacecraft that will bring the firm's first human astronauts in 2017.
Engadget reported that Airbus, on the other hand, is still trying to compete with SpaceX. The German aerospace company has debuted Adeline, a renewable primary-stage rocket engine aiming to compete and surpass its American competitor. Adeline has the most expensive avionics engine, wherein, the machine reduces pressure on the way down by using aerodynamic shield and two small wings with spinning motors to guide the space craft to the ground. Airbus visualizes the rocket segment landing on runways, not on launch pads. This strategy is reported to need lesser fuel than SpaceX's method, and would save as much as 30 percent of routine launch expense.
Elon Musk and the entire Space X team are not worried about Airbus. Adeline is only present as a prototype scale right now, and it isn't anticipated to debut until 2025, even if it gets the needed financial support. When it debuts, it could help lead inexpensive spaceflights where key elements are hardly thrown away, reported by Engadget.
According to Extreme Tech, on May 21, SpaceX has verified a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, exactly on target and on time, by the following: "Splashdown confirmed of Dragon in the Pacific Ocean at 12:42 pm ET, about 155 miles SW of Long Beach, CA."
