"Rocket blasts into orbit, launches 11 satellites then makes an amazing landing back on Earth" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0AsLJ9UaPQ "SpaceX has made history after successfully launching its Falcon 9 rocket into space and returning it to Earth in one piece. The upgraded 23-story-tall rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 8:29pm EST, and touched down nearby a few minutes later. It was the first time an unmanned rocket returned to land vertically at Cape Canaveral, and represented a tremendous success for SpaceX. The firm, led by billionaire Elon Musk, is striving to make rockets reusable to drive launch costs down and open up space to more people" http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/22/science/spacex-rocket-landing.html?_r=0 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3369783/WATCH-LIVE-Falcon-9-liftoff-SpaceX-successfully-launches-reusable-rocket-land-Earth-one-piece.html#v-1575276983494526344 |

Watched this on TED talk some time back and I was like wow! I was even thinking this was gonna happen next year or next two years not knowing it is near. He said something about it being the future if I can remember correctly, rockets returning to the launch site and to be relaunched after some hours unlike what was obtainable in the past; more like a reusable rocket; saves money especially. Waiting for his Hyperloop project to become reality. |

Lalasticlala, I know it's not easy; history was made. Can this be moved to the FP? |

Wow wow wow, spaceX finally did it, Elon finally did it. I remember watching how sometime back he spoke on previous failures, how its a very difficult task to achieve due to technical challenges but that they are determined to keep trying till the dream is achieved. People like Musk motivate me. 1 Like |
