Rocket Lab launched seven spacecraft early Friday morning as the builder of small rockets completed another mission.
The company returned its Electron rocket's booster – the lower portion and most expensive part of the rocket – through the Earth's atmosphere.
Rocket Lab launched seven spacecraft early Friday morning as the builder of small rockets completed another mission, but one launch came with a significant achievement. "Our first guided stage re-entry was a complete success," Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck said in a statement. "The stage made it through the harsh re-entry environment intact, which is an outstanding result for a first test of our recovery systems."Rocket Lab
Rocket Lab, instead, is testing a technology Beck calls an "aero thermal decelerator" – essentially using the atmosphere to slow down the rocket. After separating from the upper stage of the Electron rocket, which carried the spacecraft into orbit, Rocket Lab's onboard computer guided the booster through re-entry, successfully flipping it around 180 degrees.

Rethinking Beef Stroganoff | The Food LabBeef Stroganoff, when done right, is one of those magical dishes that acts and tastes like a stew, but is actually a quick-cooking dish in disguise. With just about 45 minutes in the kitchen, you can make a dish that comes packed with tender meat and rich, deep, rib-sticking flavors that taste like they were cooked all day. My goal: A beef stroganoff with the most tender, juicy beef around in a sauce that balances rich, browned flavors with brighter notes and most importantly, a creaminess that doesn't break or turn grainy under any circumstances.\n\nI decided to break down the process one step at a time to get there, starting with the meat.
