SpaceX launches Air Force’s spaceplane just before Hurricane Irma reaches Florida

Update September 7th, 10:12AM ET: After launching the X-37B to orbit, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket also stuck another landing at the company’s ground-based landing site at Cape Canaveral, Florida. This marks the 16th successful landing of a Falcon 9 post-launch and the seventh successful landing on solid ground. SpaceX’s live coverage of the mission ended at landing and did not show the deployment of the X-37B, likely due to the fact that its mission is classified.
