We recently completed an interview with Didier Tranchier, one of Europe's experts on building Smart Cities, and he told us that Space X is one of the co's, with their technology, changing the world. Why? Tune in to find out at Renewable Now. biz.
In less than two weeks, Elon Musk has made world changing headline news stories. First was for the Model 3, which in less than 
six days of its unveiling has secured 325,000 reservations for the car which represents, more or less, $14 billion for the company. Then one week later, Musk’s company, SpaceX, executed a historic first.

On April 8, SpaceX launched its Falcon 9. The rocket's first stage returned from space and landed on an automated drone ship offshore a few minutes later. Meanwhile, the second stage successfully placed a Dragon spacecraft into orbit.
SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft is delivered almost 7,000 pounds of cargo, including the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM),
to the orbital laboratory following its launch on a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

The mission is SpaceX's eighth cargo delivery through NASA's Commercial Resupply Services contract. Dragon's cargo will support dozens of the more than 250 science and research investigations taking place on the space station during Expeditions 47 and 48.
There are many reasons that this accomplishment is extraordinary, landing a rocket on solid ground was hard enough when back in December of 2015 SpaceX also made history by landing the first ever rocket upright, which was described by Tim Urban like, “launching a pencil over the Empire State building, having it reverse, come back down, and land on a shoebox on the ground—in a windstorm,” so we could only imaging what this feat would be described as. But the key thing here is to look at the reuse of these rockets for many more multiple voyages, this is practice of efficiency permeates through Musk’s business models, whether it be SpaceX, Tesla, or Solar City he understands efficiency is big business, and we feel that’s a sustainable business model. Congrats to the whole team at SpaceX and thank you to Elon Musk for being a risk take and visionary.
