San Francisco
ELON Musk's Space Exploration Technologies Corp took another step in its push to drive down space-flight costs, launching a resupply mission to the International Space Station using a pre-flown capsule.
The Dragon capsule, which was carrying almost 2,720 kilogrammes of supplies and payloads to the orbiting lab, was successfully launched on Saturday from Nasa's Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. The Dragon spacecraft, propelled by a Falcon 9 rocket, had previously supplied the space station in September 2014.
