Some United States residents got an impressive light show that resulted from an uncontrolled re-entry of a Falcon 9 rocket in the skies over the US. About three weeks ago, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center loaded with 60 Starlink satellites. That entire mission went without a hitch regarding putting the satellites into orbit, but there was an issue with the rocket’s second stage. Typically, the Falcon 9 Merlin engine will relight within an orbit or two deploying satellites, pushing the second stage downward, allowing it to reenter the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean harmlessly.
