SpaceX hopes that by figuring out an economical way of returning these boosters after launch in order to use them for multiple missions, reducing the cost of flying to space.

And it's a good thing the launch was a success for SpaceX. The mission was the company's first since the devastating September explosion of another Falcon 9 in Florida during what should have been a routine fueling operation ahead of a test.

Had this launch hit a significant hiccup, SpaceX's orders could have taken a hit, along with its bottom line. Now industry experts will be watching to see how the company continues to make its comeback after the September explosion.
