Even though‚ in the article “SpaceX Mars” explains the trip to Mars and the number of expenses for safety that is needed to continue the process. On the other hand‚ “The Falcon Has Landed” presents a stronger argument by indicating that focusing on the rockets can increase the chances of improving landings‚ safe transports‚ and reducing cost.
