Congratulations to SpaceX

[Sdiver]

In case you didn't see this, this is a REALLY BIG Deal.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 spacecraft successfully launched from Cape Canaveral FL and upon reaching orbit, launched 11 satellites into a higher orbit.

But the REALLY BIG DEAL was, they were also able to successfully land the first stage back at the launch pad on the Cape. That is HUGE !!!!!!

Congrats to the SpaceX crew and all involved ... Start the video around the 21:00 minute mark.

I'm glad to hear they were successful. Space is one of the last two true "frontiers" that we still have much to learn from and discover.

Wow!!

I didn't know they were also able to successfully land the first stage back at the launch pad on the Cape. That's pretty awesome.
