After five days of weather-related delays SpaceX launched its forty-second Falcon 9 mission of the year from Pad SLC-40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Booster 1067 was being used for its sixth flight, which concluded with a successful touchdown on a drone ship platform off the shore of the Carolinas several minutes after launching.
