SPACEX WORLD'S FIRST REFLIGHT OF AN ORBITAL CLASS ROCKET

WORLD'S FIRST REFLIGHT OF AN ORBITAL CLASS ROCKET

In March 2017, SpaceX achieved the world’s first reflight of an orbital class rocket. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket launched a geosynchronous communications satellite on March 30, 2017, from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The first stage for the mission previously supported a space station cargo resupply launch for NASA in April 2016. Following stage separation, the first stage successfully returned to Earth for a second time, landing on a drone ship stationed in the Atlantic ocean. This successful reflight represents a historic milestone on the road to full and rapid rocket reusability.

To Save Lives, Self-Driving Cars Must Become the Ultimate Defensive Drivers

Advanced Transport To Save Lives, Self-Driving Cars Must Become the Ultimate Defensive Drivers by  The 2262 li   Getty Images IN BRIEF The myriad of potential causes of danger on the road makes programming self-driving especially difficult. Not only must programmers develop procedures for normal conditions, but also learn how to react when drivers and vehicles behave out of the ordinary. Srikanth Saripalli ,  Texas A&M University In early November, a  self-driving shuttle and a delivery truck collided in Las Vegas . The event, in which no one was injured and no property was seriously damaged, attracted media and public attention in part because one of the vehicles was driving itself – and because that shuttle had been operating for only less than an hour before the crash. It’s not the first collision involving a self-driving vehicle. Other crashes have involved  Ubers   in Arizona , a  Tesla in “autopilot” mode  in Flo...
