For the first time, a Space Exploration Technologies’ Falcon 9 rocket successfully flew itself back to Earth for an experimental touchdown at sea, company chief executive Elon Musk told reporters Friday. “I’m happy to confirm that we were able to do a soft-landing of the Falcon 9 boost stage in the Atlantic,” following launch a week ago from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, Musk said. “All the data that we received back shows that we did the soft landing and it was in a healthy condition after that,” Musk said. news.discovery/space/private-spaceflight/spacex-falcon-rocket-flies-itself-back-to-earth-140425.htm
