The first-ever ‘flight-proven’ SpaceX rocket and cargo vessel successfully lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Friday, December 15, as the privatized company began its 13th resupply mission to the International Space Station.
While the cargo will take several days to reach the Space Station, the Falcon 9’s “first stage” successfully touched back down in Florida a few moments after liftoff. Credit: NASA via Storyful
