SpaceX rocket launch

Space X has pulled off the successful launch and landing of two rockets in a weekend.
A Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on Sunday afternoon, carrying 10 communications satellites into orbit for Iridium Communications.
About seven minutes later the rocket's first-stage booster made its way back to Earth, successfully landing on a drone ship in the Pacific Ocean.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk had warned the floating platform had to be moved due to "extreme weather".
Sunday's rocket was a brand new one, while on Friday a refurbished booster was used.
Mr Musk has said he wants to reuse multimillion dollar components instead of jettisoning them in the ocean after launch to reduce his company's costs eventually by up to a third.
The company, which was founded by the billionaire, made history in March when it launched and retrieved a rocket which had successfully returned after a previous launch.
