It was a supply flight carrying fresh groceries, new equipment, and even Christmas presents to the six astronauts currently on board the International Space Station. The landing itself is the historic part – it would have brought the rocket’s main booster back to a platform in the Atlantic Ocean for reuse, which has never been done before. If successful, the maneuver would lower the cost of spaceflight. The post Next SpaceX Launch Set for Early Friday appeared first on Money Morning - Only the News You Can Profit From .
