SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket – forced to delay its opening attempts to launch the SES-9 communications satellite – finally launched on Friday evening. The mission, which also involved a sporty – and ultimately unsuccessful – attempt to recover the rocket’s first stage at sea via an Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship, occurred from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral at 18:35 pm Eastern.
