Description

The Falcon 9 of Space X, an outstanding machine capable of landing itself and be reusable. This is the future of space missions and maybe the other rockets such as the Falcon Heavy and the Starship will be the responsibles for taking humanity to Mars, with a bit of luck, before 2050. If only people put more interest in these themes, all of us, as an specie, will achieve wonderful goals in terms of space exploration.

Annotations

This is only the first version of my model of the Falcon 9. I’m looking forward to make it more complete and polished, making it separate its diferent stages, or being able to drop payloads with parachute and even landing the first stage, but that will be more tricky. It isn’t to scale.
For the moment, it can only take off, neither separating its stages nor landing. If you want to use it for building your own model, feel free to do it, but at least name me in the description.
