SpaceX Is Finally On Its Way Back To The ISS After Historic Launch

Cargo Resupply mission 10 (CRS-10) was a historic one for a number of reasons. Primarily because it marked Kennedy Space Center's return to being an active spaceport after nearly six years of no launches following the end of space shuttle program in 2011, but also because it marked SpaceX's first return to the ISS after it had a Falcon 9 explode on the launch pad during a pre-launch test last September.
