The future of privatized spaceflight is here, and SpaceX is one of a few companies that is leading the way with a number of launches for partners like NASA. The company, led by CEO Elon Musk, isn't just launching satellites into space and resupplying the International Space Station, however. It is also testing new technologies with almost every launch. Most notably, the company has been working to perfect its Falcon 9 rocket, which can land itself back on Earth or on a drone ship at sea after takeoff. This makes the rockets reusable, and therefore cheaper to operate. Stay tuned here for all of the latest updates on SpaceX Falcon 9 launches and tests.
