Falcon 9 rocket's 1st-stage booster reuses
The Falcon 9 rocket's first-stage booster—on its fifth trip to space—delivered the satellites and then touched down safely on the drone ship "A Shortfall of Gravitas" out in the Atlantic.
This kind of booster reuse is a big deal for making space launches cheaper and greener.
Launch marks 10 years since Falcon 9 exploded during NASA mission
This launch also comes 10 years after a Falcon 9 exploded during a NASA cargo mission.
That setback led SpaceX to overhaul its rockets, and today's smooth flight shows how far they've come in reliability and tech since then.
