    Footage of a #SpaceX Falcon 9 #rocket upper stage has been captured showing it breaking up in the atmosphere over #Mexico, five years after it was launched. The footage shot over Ensenada, Mexico shows the rocket with small pieces flying off. Witnesses
    said they could see various parts break off from the bright main mass and separate, burning up at different rates.

    Can't wait for the fireworks of the 40 Starlink sats !

    They are small satellites. Much less impressive than re-entering
    rocket bodies.
