SpaceX Attempts Historic Rocket Landing

14.04.2015
SpaceX will try once again to launch its cargo capsule to the International Space Station on Tuesday, but what comes after that will be its biggest feat yet.
Nine minutes after launch, the company will attempt to land the first stage of the rocket — the Falcon 9, which carried the Dragon cargo capsule into space — on a platform off the coast of Florida.
This will be SpaceX's second attempt at this type of landing. It tried a similar return in January, but it ended in a catastrophic failure.
The weather forecast for Tuesday holds a slightly better chance for acceptable conditions for launch. About an hour before launch time, there was a 60% chance of "go" conditions.
