United States Space Force space plane X-37B was successfully launched into orbit last night by SpaceX from Florida. Falcon Heavy's two outer boosters successfully landed back on earth after booster separation, the 257th and 258th successful landings of an orbital class rocket.

X37-B is an un-crewed orbital test vehicle which will likely stay in space for months or years, testing the performance of certain equipment. Then it will glide back down to earth.
SpaceX itself was started to make humans interplanetary. To achieve that goal, it was absolutely essential to figure out how to make rockets reusable.
