sometimes on land but often on a small floating landing pad. spacex has succeeded eight out of 13 times. >> this is a big deal but pulling off this mission is just one step. spacex has to demonstrate they can do this routinely and reliably so that customers will have confidence to put their expensive satellite on top of a used rocket. >> reporter: and although this rocket's trip could be historic, it also be a short one. just 8 to 9 minutes between launch and landing. manuel bojorquez, cbs news, from kennedy space center. all right. checking our financial markets right now, the dow is up 64 points.
