SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket lifts off from launch pad 40 at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
SpaceX successfully launched the Dragon space capsule into orbit, marking the first such attempt by a private enterprise that could pave the way for the future of space travel.
This photo provided by SpaceX shows the Dragon spacecraft carried by three main parachutes to a gentle soft landing in the Pacific Ocean.
The private company launched a spacecraft into orbit and for the first time guided it safely back to Earth, a feat previously achieved only by large national governments.
