Spacex Makes Space Travel History. by ChinonsoDike2: 2:46pm On Dec 22, 2015
"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"

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.
