Three’s a charm with the SpaceX Dragon that blasted off toward the International Space Station from Cape Canaveral on Friday and successfully docking this morning. This is the third mission to the ISS by SpaceX carrying cargo and it's looking like private enterprise space flights are a resounding success.
The docking wasn't the only successful part of SpaceX’s launch. It was also making its first test of its Falcon 9′s reusable first stage – a step towards the company’s goal of a reusable rocket.
