SpaceX makes history, successfully lands reusable rocket

It’s a welcome end to the year for SpaceX, which had to deal with a debacle in June when a Falcon 9 rocket exploded shortly after takeoff, destroying a supply shipment intended for the International Space Station.

And that, more than anything the old head coach of the NYJ did, is why the Jets won and control their own destiny. For the year, Gostkowski has made 32 of 34 field-goal attempts, including four of five from beyond 50 yards.

The upgraded, 23-storey-tall rocket took off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station with the main stage returning about 10 minutes later to a landing site about 9.65km (6 miles) south of its launch pad.

The senior leads the Big 12 and is 12th in the nation with 1,455 yards rushing and his 14 rushing touchdowns lead the Red Raiders. Tigers’ Fournette ran for a 2-yard TD. “The key is to being balanced certainly”, Miles said in a pregame press conference .

United States company SpaceX has successfully landed an unmanned rocket upright, after sending 11 satellites into orbit. It remains to be known if the Falcon 9 is reusable after its landing.

Elon Musk and his company, SpaceX, have made history in the field of space travel.

“Welcome back, baby!” the company’s CEO tweeted following the successful landing.

“Thus has been a wildly successful return to flight for SpaceX”, one launch commentator at the company reportedly said. It landed at Landing Zone 1, a former launch complex for Atlas intercontinental ballistic missiles that SpaceX leased.

SpaceX has tried this landing twice before-once in January and again in April.

It was carrying 11 satellites for New Jersey-based Orbcomm.

Though many may argue this has been done before – when Blue Origin landed its rocket on November 25 – they are two separate beasts.

SpaceX, short for Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, of California, returned to space flight after its last launch attempt six months ago disintegrated, the New York Times reported. It’s hard to tell the scale of the Falcon 9 first stage after only seeing it in video or standing alone on the landing pad.
