SpaceX confirms successful Falcon 9 soft landing on the Atlantic Ocean

SpaceX confirms successful Falcon 9 soft landing on the Atlantic Ocean: "SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has confirmed that the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket that boosted the CRS-3 Dragon spacecraft into orbit made a controlled power landing on the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. The historic first controlled landing of a liquid booster was tracked by telemetry and recorded on video. Unfortunately, heavy seas destroyed the rocket before recovery operations could retrieve it."
