SpaceX has made history by launching the first ever reusable rocket. The rocket is called Falcon 9. Previously Falcon 9 has dropped off a bouncy house onto the drone ship called “Of Course I Still Love You” that was of the coast off the Florida coast. But this time Falcon 9 carried a communications satellite for a company called SES. The SpaceX rocket brought it’s payload (carrying the Dragon capsule). Then Falcon 9 turned itself around and went towards home in about 4.5 minutes after the launch. This is important because that rocket is only one of the first steps to populate Mars. But the next goal for SpaceX is to populate Mars.
