Bill Ingalls/NASA via AP The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is seen at Vandenberg Air Force Base Space Launch Complex 4 East with the Jason-3 spacecraft onboard, Jan. 16, 2016, in California. Bill Ingalls/NASA via AP Musk has said drone ship landings are needed for "high velocity missions," which would allow payloads such as satellites to reach a higher orbit. Nailing the landing is huge for SpaceX and space travel as a whole because Musk has previously said he believes reusing rockets -- which cost as much as a commercial airplane -- could reduce the cost of access to space by a factor of one hundred. SpaceX posted this photo to its Twitter account on Jan. 16, 2016 with the caption, "Out at sea for tomorrow's launch and landing attempt." SpaceX/Twitter Previous attempts had come close to landing on the barge but were destroyed when they narrowly missed the mark and suffered crash landings. The precise landing of the Falcon 9 last month at Cape Canaveral, Florida, has many eager to see if Musk and his team can pull off their second rocket landing. Sponsored Content by Taboola
