The U.S. Air Force on Wednesday awarded billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX an $83 million contract to launch a GPS satellite, breaking the monopoly that Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) and Boeing Co (BA.N) have held on military space launches for more than a decade.

I think it suggests a bright future for space exploration. What was left of the old mold has officially been broken.

360(ish) view of the landing from the barge. (You can click and move your mouse around, or if you're on a phone, move it around.) It's much calmer than I would have guessed.

Looks like we're on for an attempt tomorrow late night. Another water landing, but the difficulty level is a bit higher than the last one, so no guarantees of another success.
I'll probably try and stay up just for fun, but if they have to delay for any reason, that'll be it for me. |

there is so much debris in 120 miles of our atmosphere, that space flight to moon is impossible?

Barring setbacks, we're on for late tonight.
