SpaceX just launched and recovered a Falcon 9 booster for the third time, after previous launches in May and August. Additionally, the upper stage has reached the intended orbit and will begin spitting out its payload of 64 small satellites. Most famous of these is the infamous “Orbital Reflector,” an “art project” designed to annoy astronomers.

Remember when recovering a rocket *once* was big news?
