This past weekend, not only did SpaceX successfully send a payload up to the International Space Station, the company also successfully landed the first stage segment of the Falcon 9 rocket at Cape Canaveral.

While this may not sound like a big deal seeing as how SpaceX has successfully landed rockets in the past, this marked the first time one landed while carrying out a NASA-contracted ISS delivery.

What once seemed nearly impossible has now become commonplace, representing an exciting future for SpaceX and the space exploration industry as a whole.
