On January 10, 2015, SpaceX's Falcon 9 lifted off from Cape Canaveral carrying the Dragon resupply spacecraft to the International Space Station.
On reentry, SpaceX attempted precision landing of Falcon 9 first stage on a custom-built ocean platform known as the autonomous spaceport drone ship.
The rocket made it to the drone ship, but it landed hard.
