SpaceX successfully used a Falcon 9 rocket to take some satellites to orbit, then returned and landed successfully.

This was the first launch and return since the explosion a few months ago, after which they grounded further flights until this one.

By the way, if anyone is interested in the reasons why the initial rocket exploded, I found this video by Scott Manley helpful:

I just like the fact the man presents his topic so well.


When I first started playing KSP, and first tinkered with realism overhaul, I went straight to his channel. He makes the fundamentals of orbital mechanics(which I knew very little about) approachable and funny.

and if you ever watch his streams, he seems like a great parent.
