TECHi's Take
Third time’s a charm for Elon Musk. After two failed attempts last week, SpaceX on Tuesday successfully launched an unmanned Falcon 9 rocket, carrying its first commercial satellite into space. The launch is monumental for SpaceX because it proves the private company can deliver satellites into orbit on a budget. Now, CEO Musk and his team have an entry ticket to the $190 billion commercial satellite industry.
