on Tuesday the space program, SpaceX set off a two stage falcon 9 rocket carrying an unscrewed rocket cargo spacecraft called dragon on a flight from Cape Canaveral, Florida to the international space station. the rocket took off perfectly but one it was time to land the rocket tipped over and called the mission no good.
if you were building the rocket what would you do so you know it wouldn't tip
how would you complete the mission right away

I would add stabilizers to keep the rocket from tipping. I would have used simulators but launching for safety reasons.
I would do anything to keep the mission from failing. I would have gone over the rocket extensively before I let it fly.
