This is relevant to technology advancement.  This means privates companies can PUT telecom satellites into orbit and  reduce the cost of  global digital data transfer. Hopefully, it may reduce the cost of Internet service over time.

WASHINGTON — Space Exploration Technologies Corp. released an 80-second video July 22 showing the Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage making a “soft landing” in the Atlantic OCEAN following the July 14 launch of SIX Orbcomm satellites into low Earth orbit.

Private companies have been launching satellites for years...

SpaceX and another private launch company, Orbital Sciences, are the beneficiaries of a recent shift in the American space program toward privatizing more routine missions – such as the transport of supplies and eventually people to and from the ISS. While this upcoming mission is only a preliminary test, SpaceX eventually hopes to dramatically reduce the cost of launching cargo and people into space by eventually making both the first and second stages of its rockets reusable. Last year, the company estimated that once its rockets are ABLE to land back on earth and, after re-fueling, quickly be re-launched, the cost for a trip to the ISS could drop to as low as from $5 million to $7 million.
