To determine how far horizontally from its starting point the rocket will land, we need to find the x-intercept of the equation. This is the point where the rocket will hit the ground.

However, since the equation for the rocket's path was not provided, we cannot determine the exact answer. We need the equation in order to solve for the x-intercept.

Therefore, the answer cannot be determined based on the information provided.
