SpaceX landed its three Falcon Heavy boosters without flaw. Then a stormy sea knocked one of them down


New York (CNN Business) Rough weather at sea toppled one of the three boosters used during the launch of SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket last week. The booster landed on a platform off the coast of Florida after the rocket's successful launch on Thursday. The fall was a hiccup in an otherwise successful mission — the company's first use of Falcon Heavy since its debut flight in February 2018. Falcon Heavy, which is the most powerful operational rocket in the world, was used to put a satellite from the Saudi Arabia-based TV and radio provider Arabsat into orbit. SpaceX is the only rocket company that safely lands boosters after launching orbital missions.
