Reusable Rocket

Spaceflight Now reports that SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy successfully flew its first mission for a US spy satellite agency, placing a high-priority reconnaissance payload into orbit and marking deeper fusion of commercial space with the national intelligence architecture.

SpaceX announced its Starship megarocket will attempt its first-ever orbital launch on Sept 28, a pivotal milestone in the development of the giant reusable launch vehicle that, if successful, will open a new chapter in commercial crewed deep-space exploration.
