Elon Musk has announced that the SpaceX Rocket, the Falcon 9 will launch again on the 19th of December.

The last SpaceX Rocket took off back in June, the company’s rockets have been grounded since then after a rocket exploded on the way to the International Space Station.
Jeff Bezo’s Blue Origin Rocket recently performed a vertical landing on land and obviously this is something that Elon Musk wants to accomplish with his Falcon 9 rocket.
SpaceX will perform a static fire for their Falcon 9 rocket on the 16th of December, if all goes to plan their next test flight will take place on the 19th of December.
