Finally!

Yesterday was a newsworthy day for several reasons. After many delays for mostly technical reasons the Spacex rocket finally is on it's way to the International Space Station. It was a significant accomplishment given that last years attempt blew up the launch pad causing 50 million dollars worth of damage as well as the fact that this is the first time a space ship and the rocket booster have been re-used ( and can be used again actually!). After liftoff we waited about 10 minutes for the rocket booster to return to the space centre and land perfectly and then a few minutes later we heard the sonic boom. 

Now the crew of the ISS will have literally tons of food and Christmas presents!

That little dot in the sky is the rocket
