William Harwood/CBS NewsTwo-and-a-half minutes after liftoff, the veteran first stage fell away, the single vacuum-rated Merlin engine powering the second stage fired up and the rocket continued its climb to space. Using a Falcon 9 rocket with a first stage making a record eighth flight, the mission got underway at 8:02 a.m. EST, lifting off from historic pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center atop a brilliant jet of flaming exhaust. Making its sixth flight, the first stage propelled the rocket out of the dense lower atmosphere and then fell away and headed for landing an offshore droneship. The first stage, meanwhile, flipped around and headed for a landing on a SpaceX droneship stationed several hundred miles off shore, safely touching down just 38 days after wrapping up its seventh flight. The instantaneous window is at 8:02 a.m. EST, or 13:02 UTC.'
