SpaceX's successful Friday launch opens weekend doubleheader
San Francisco
THE year's not half over, and Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technologies Corp is about to launch more missions than it completed in all of 2016.
SpaceX successfully fired up a Falcon 9 rocket for the eighth time this year on Friday, matching its flight total for all of last year. Its next launch was scheduled for late Sunday, with the ramped-up cadence putting the company on track to achieve the 20 to 24 total missions it's targeting for the year.
