Rising from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, planet Earth, the Falcon 9&#8217;s first stage then returned to a landing zone some 400 meters from the launch site less than 8 minutes after liftoff.

This Falcon 9 rocket delivered its payload, an Earth-observing satellite developed by Argentina&#8217;s national space agency, to low Earth orbit. Of course, the Falcon 9 first stage had flown before. Following a launch from Vandenberg on July 25 it was recovered after landing on the autonomous drone ship Just Read the Instructions. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap181011.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch dazzled viewers along the U.S. west coast after sunset on October 7.
