#3I watched the livestream over dinner on youtube. Really good footage this time. Clear weather and they shot the first stage landing with a zoom lens from land. Including pretty much all of the landing burn.

For the sake of completeness, how many have they reflown?

This was the first time that SpaceX has launched-and-landed the same rocket on three separate missions.

#9So the 'steamroller' is now up to speed.
Does anyone have any ideas if Spacex will actually grow the launch market, rather than just dominate. What new things become possible with lower cost access to space.
Spacex are developing communications satellites for internet, what else?
Edit: Thanks for all the replies so far, I was thinking more down to earth (di dum ch) things rather than theoretically possible. Eg I know that certain drugs are made in space because the crystal structure requires zero g (or something), so is that something with pent up demand, or some exciting materials that are awaiting lower cost manufacture.

From three different launchpads. A hat trick!
