SpaceX put a GoPro inside a Falcon 9 and captured spectacular footage of Earth

SpaceX strapped a GoPro inside a Falcon 9 rocket and captured this spectacular footage of Earth

Elon Musk's company, SpaceX, shares a lot of videos of its rockets and spacecraft, and much of the footage shows those rockets blasting off into space.

This time, the team strapped a GoPro camera to a fairing on a Falcon 9 and captured this incredible video as that part fell back to earth.

Naturally, they chose Johann Strauss II's "Blue Danube" as the soundtrack, used as it was in "2001: A Space Odyssey" during those long scenes with the lunar landing and space-station docking. SpaceX made history as the first commercial-rocket company to dock with the International Space Station. It is currently testing the spacecraft that will carry the company's first human astronauts in 2017.

Musk famously hopes to one day colonize Mars.

Planet's Primary, Alpha Centauri A, blasts unimaginable quantities of energy into space each instant, and virtually every joule of it is wasted entirely. Incomprehensible riches can be ours if we can but stretch our arms wide enough to dip from this eternal river of wealth.
~CEO Nwabudike Morgan 'The Centauri Monopoly'
