SpaceX successfully launches rocket after Saturday setback
Found on BBC News on Sunday, 19 February 2017
It was the first mission by the company since one of its vehicles exploded on the launch pad in September.
The company also has a long queue of customers all waiting for a ride to orbit - including America's civil space agency (Nasa), the US military and multiple outfits in the commercial sector.
It's somewhat depressing: decades ago men were sent to the moon (unless you believe it was faked in Hollywood). Today, with decades of advancing technology, it's not even certain if a rocket will launch without blowing up.
