“We have altered the future of Spaceflight” - first reuse of an orbital-class rocket.

SpaceX successfully reflew one of their Falcon 9 rockets Thursday night on the SES-10 mission, marking the first time in history an orbital-class rocket has been used for more than one mission.

SES-10 launched at the beginning of a two hour launch window at 6:27pm EDT. Around eight minutes later, the rocket’s first stage landed on Of Course I Still Love You downrange in the Atlantic Ocean.
