SpaceX Launches Rocket to Send Supplies to Space Station

Via the Associated Press...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- NASA's historic moonshot pad is back in business.

 A  SpaceX Falcon rocket blasted off Sunday morning from Kennedy Space  Center's Launch Complex 39A. It was visible for just seconds before  ducking into clouds on its way to the International Space Station, with a  load of supplies.

 Astronauts flew to the moon  from this very spot nearly a half-century ago. The pad was last used  for NASA's final shuttle mission nearly six years ago.

The successful launch comes after an unsuccessful one on Saturday, which was halted 13 seconds before liftoff due to a rocket malfunction.
