The company led by billionaire Elon Musk is striving for reusability to drive launch costs down and open up space to more people.

And it’s still not going to be enough: They need help from the Bucs against the Bears and the 49ers against the Lions . The Chiefs more realistically can win the division by winning one more game than the Broncos over the next two games.
“It really felt like it was right on top of us”, Elon Musk, the chief executive of SpaceX, said during a telephone news conference after the landing, according to the New York Times.
California Brush Fire Grows to 1200 Acres
Kaufman is urging everyone that is moving to higher ground to be sure and close all the windows and doors in their homes first. The fire is less than 10 percent contained and it will take at least three days to get it under control, fire officials said.
The company has previously attempted the feat three times, coming close to landing on a bull’s-eye on a floating barge. Earlier this year, the booster stage of a Blue Origin New Shepard rocket dramatically touched down after reaching 100 kilometers from the ground. Reusable rockets could solve that and make space travel a whole lot cheaper in the future.

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 launch’s payload, 11 ORBCOMM satellites destined to join others in the communications company’s network, was also successfully deployed with no problems. Six months ago, an unmanned SpaceX rocket exploded while carrying supplies to the International Space Station. Welcome to the club! The rocket’s massive first stage executed a series of maneuvers that brought it back to Cape Canaveral in Florida.
Still, ORBCOMM CEO Marc Eisenberg seemed to celebrate both the launch of his satellites and the booster landing via Twitter Monday night. “That can have unforeseen consequences on the materials used, especially liquid engines which have more moving parts” continued the engineer.
In 2014, SpaceX twice reentered a Falcon 9 first stage from space and landed it in the Atlantic Ocean.
Monday’s deployment completed a 200 US dollars million 17-satellite network that will provide machine-to-machine messaging services on the ground?such as between retailers and shipping containers. Third’s the lucky charm they say and SpaceX finally succeeded in showing that rockets can be reused.

Speaking to reporters after the launch, Musk said, “This is a fundamental step change in technology compared to any rockets that have ever flown”.
