December 21, 2015 - Cape Canaveral, Florida, United States - An upgraded SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is seen at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on December 21, 2015 where it awaits a launch tonight at 8:33 p.m. After a 24 hour launch delay, the rocket will attempt to place 11 Orbcomm communications satellites in orbit. SpaceX will also attempt, for the first time, to land the first stage of the rocket back on land. This is the first SpaceX flight since a Falcon 9 rocket exploded in June, 2015 about two minutes after launch on a re-supply mission to the International Space Station. (Paul Hennessy/Alamy)
