SpaceX 18th Launch of 2017

SpaceX carried out its 18th Launch of 2017, on 22 Dec from the Vandenberg Air Force base. It deployed 10 Iridium satellites on this 4th of a series of 8th flight booked by the Iridium company. It has been a record breaking year for SpaceX in 2017 in terms of total launches, landing of the first stage and re-use of first stage and Dragon Spacecraft. The next important milestone will be the Launch of Falcon Heavy, hopefully in early or mid January 2018, with an original Tesla Roadster as a test payload. It would be a sight to behold if they manage to land all 3 first stage successfully!

Human nature of greed and power will kill itself! Human nature is probably hard to change .....!!!!
