Today is one of the most historic days for the future of Interstellar Travel. SpaceX is on track to launch the first reused Dragon spacecraft atop the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, which will launch from the historic Pad 39-A at NASA's Kennedy Space Centre in Florida at 5:55 p.m EDT (2155 GMT). The rocket will be carrying cargo to the International Space Station on a three-day journey. The live stream for the launch will be available 30 minutes prior to and can be accessed on NASA TV or via the SpaceX website
The last time the rocket was used was with the CRS-4 cargo mission to the ISS back in 2014. That was one of the first 12 contracted missions with NASA that SpaceX agreed to fly.
Reusable Rockets are going to dramatically cut down on costs and resources as well as the engineering time to construct these rockets. If the launch will be successful, it would lead to a new frontier of Space Travel with glimmering hopes of Interstellar travel in the horizon.

It's far from interstellar… LEO is a target for this vehicle.
A sleepy area of New Zealand was rocked by an unusual sight on Thursday – a rocket taking off into space.
We are in the rocket club now as well with a really cheap electron rocket...Rocket Lab's Electron rocket lifted off from the company's Launch Complex 1 at Mahia Peninsula on the north island of New Zealand, in an event described as the world's first "orbital-class" rocket launch from a private site.

Rocket Launches look so cool to watch xD
ikr I love watching those type of videos on youtube
After a great deal of set backs with the space program, this could be a a real game-changer!@ingloriousaction
Yeah, we need more success stories in that department
The Live Stream will start in about 5 hrs for those wanting to watch
