"SpaceX will probably build 30 to 40 rocket cores for 300 missions over 5 years. Then the Big Falcon Rocket (BFR) takes over and Falcon retires", says Musk.
The vehicle, aiming to bring astronauts to the International Space Station in the future, came with many design changes to improve its reusability and reliability.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said that the storm could cause an aurora or polar lights when it arrives. NOAA has classified the storm as G-1 or 'minor'.
The solar and battery-powered lander is designed to operate for 26 Earth months, or one year on Mars, a period in which it is expected to pick up as many as 100 quakes.
In a first of this month, a solar storm is likely to hit the Earth on May 6 as a coronal hole has opened up in the Sun, resulting in the release of a huge swarm of cosmic particles.
NASA will launch its InSight Mission on May 5, the first-ever mission to study the structure of Mars.
Chawla, 40, was the first woman of Indian-origin in space. She was one of the seven crew members who died in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003 when the spacecraft disintegrated during its re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.
According to a report, within just 27 years from now, dying will become 'optional' and the ageing process will become 'reversible'.
In early 2017 scientists announced the discovery of possible desiccation cracks in Gale Crater, which was filled by lakes 3.5 billion years ago.
The students are trained and are responsible for daily plant upkeep and data collection. Throughout the 28-day challenge, they also recorded weekly plant measurements.
"It wasn't until human impacts started becoming a factor that large body sizes made mammals more vulnerable to extinction," said study co-author Kate Lyons from University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the US.
NASA's next planet-hunter, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (Tess) successfully launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
This has been done to exercise caution as Chandrayaan-2 will be ISRO's first inter-planetary mission to land a rover on any celestial body, they said.
NASA estimated that the asteroid measures 48 to 110 meters wide — 3.6 times the size of the one that levelled 2,000 square kilometers of Siberian forest when it exploded over Tunguska in 1908.
TESS has been fitted with four wide-field cameras that will give the satellite a field-of-view covering 85 per cent of our entire sky.
