SpaceX conducted its second launch in barely 48 hours on Wednesday, with their Falcon 9 rocket boosting a Dragon spacecraft on the first leg of its cargo run to the International Space Station. Liftoff of the CRS-16 mission took place from Cape Canaveral’s Space Launch Complex 40 at 13:16 Eastern Time (18:16 UTC). The booster lost control during its return to LZ-1, but managed to soft land in the water just off the coast and appears to be intact.
