Jeff Bezos Tweets to Elon Musk: ‘Welcome to the Club’

As you have no doubt seen at this point, SpaceX successfully launched and then landed its Falcon 9 rocket on the ground.

He will consider promoting Russell and/or Randle again in January, at the conclusion of the Lakers’ seemingly monthlong road trek. That’s how I have confidence out there that I can play at a high level every night. “So that was encouraging”.

The reusable main-stage booster then turned around, flew back to Cape Canaveral and landed safely near its launchpad in a dramatic spaceflight first. In the space shuttle days, those rockets were single-use only, abandoned to the ocean after launch.

Even though the Lakers went 2-8 during the stint , Scott is going to stay that course for now. That was a 17 percent increase from the 9.3 million for the Cavaliers-Heat game a year ago .

“Welcome back, baby!” Musk wrote in a tweet after the successful landing. He has said the ability to return his rockets to Earth so that they can be refurbished and reflown would slash his company’s operational costs in the burgeoning and highly competitive private space launch industry.

Thanks to all the fans who have supported us for all these years and to the Hall of Fame members who cast their votes. All nominated artists had to have put out their first album or single at least 25 years ago to be in consideration.

The company has previously attempted the feat three times, coming close to landing on a bull’s-eye on a floating barge. This marks the third attempt of the company to vertically land a rocket, the first on land. The launch and landing occurred at Cape Canaveral in Florida. The first-stage booster has nine engines and is meant to land shortly after liftoff for reuse. Its main goal was to blast OrbComm’s satellites to orbit and show the world that it recovered from the June 28 disaster, which cost NASA and taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.

SpaceX has done what many thought would not be possible so early for the company as it had suffered many disappointing losses in the last several month. Although Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket was the first civilian-backed craft to successfully land intact, that rocket traveled to a lower altitude than the Falcon 9, making it an easier trip. With the landing of Falcon 9, SpaceX got an edge on its competitor, Blue Origin, which brought back its own rocket (which did not carry cargo) last month.

Musk also said in November that SpaceX flights had achieved a much tougher objective of reaching orbit.
