Step Closer to Reusability

SpaceX's goal of fully reusing rockets just got closer. Not only did they launch a rocket that had flown three times, but they managed to catch the shed fairing. The fairings cost $6 million, so SpaceX's plan to catch them in a giant net for reuse would save quite a bit of money (and the energy used to make them).

The video of the successful catch is linked here.
