After the little hiccup of Falcon 9’s explosion at its last launch in Florida, Space X has finally relaunched the rocket.
The Falcon 9 rocket, which was launched on Saturday, has returned to port in Southern California after landing on a floating platform in the Pacific Ocean.
But this also means that the rocket is ready to be reused on a future mission since it’s the world’s first fully reusable spacecraft.
