2nd launch of SpaceX Falcon 9 in 2016

SpaceX successfully completed its second mission of the year and place a SES satellite on its way to a GTO orbit above Southeast Asia. The landing of the stage one ended up in failure as advised before the mission. This is the 22nd mission for Falcon 9, with its nine Merlin engines. This is a unprecedented feat before SpaceX did it 2007 with Falcon 1, but nowadays it goes unnoticed sometimes that this is a privately funded company with a staff strength of maybe 5,500. It's continue success will take human beyond agencies based space programmes which used up so much tax payer money! It's already putting many agencies scratching their head for a face saving solution probably!

Let's look forward to a successful landing of the stage 1 on the drone ship in the next mission!
