<br/>NASA's historic moonshot pad is back in business. A SpaceX Falcon rocket blasted off yesterday from Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39A. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>The pad was last used for NASA's final shuttle mission nearly six years ago. This is SpaceX's first launch from Florida since a rocket explosion last summer. As an extra special treat, SpaceX landed the booster rocket back at Cape Canaveral following liftoff, for only the third time.<br/><br/>Cheers erupted inside SpaceX Mission Control. A minute or two later, the SpaceX Dragon supply ship successfully reached orbit, generating more applause.<br/>
