SpaceX’s Falcon 9 makes history with successful landing after many failed attempts

Musk has previously said he believes reusing rockets – which cost as much as a commercial airplane – could reduce the cost of access to space by a factor of one hundred.

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”.

A historic moment was repeated on Monday, when Elon Musk’s SpaceX landed the first stage of a rocket on its launch pad in Cape Canaveral.

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!” the company’s CEO tweeted following the successful landing. Earlier this year SpaceX tried to stick such a landing using a modified barge as a touchdown site, but failed at all three attempts.

SpaceX employees cheered as they watched live video footage of the 47.5-meter-tall white first-stage booster slowly descending upright through a damp, darkened night sky to make a picture-perfect landing.

The ORBCOMM-2 Mission carried 11 satellites into low-earth orbit. When Blue Origin became the first company to achieve a vertical landing of a rocket that had traveled into outer space last month, Musk tweeted his own congrats to Bezos. Welcome to the club! SpaceX commentators called it “incredibly exciting” and were visibly moved by the feat. “I think we’ll probably keep this one on the ground, just [because] it’s kind of unique, it’s the first one we’ve brought back”, he said. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket reportedly costs about $55 million to build. The first stage then landed safely in a designated spot just a few miles from the launch pad. His problem? Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket is meant only for suborbital flight.

But SpaceX’s Falcon rocket reached higher heights than Blue Origin’s November test flight. The deployment completed a 17-satellite array managed by ORBCOMM.

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