Watch SpaceX’s Latest Falcon 9 First Stage Landing From 3 Different Angles

Elon Musk and SpaceX are on a roll right now, successfully carrying out yet another Falcon 9 first stage landing last week after sending JCSAT-14 satellite on to Geostationary Transfer Orbit.

The thing that makes what SpaceX is calling its “hottest and fastest” landing yet even more impressive is the fact that they actually thought it was a long shot to begin with.

In honor of the company’s third successful Falcon 9 first stage landing, SpaceX released the following video, showing the landing on a droneship from three different camera angles.

Why Titanium Is Used in Aerospace Applications

Ever wondered why titanium is used in aerospace? It’s because it gives engineers a rare mix of strength, low weight, heat performance, and corrosion resistance. In aircraft design, every pound counts. But weight savings can’t come at the expense of safety, fatigue life, or certification. Which is why titanium is specified for parts where weight, strength, heat, and corrosion performance all aff
