SpaceX’s launches for NASA have at this point become somewhat routine, but the payload on its latest mission to the International Space Station is anything but.
The Elon Musk-led company’s Falcon 9 rocket carried aloft cargo including a 3D biological printer and Nickelodeon’s iconic slime from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center shortly after 6 p.m. local time in Florida. It’s the 18th delivery mission that closely held Space Exploration Technologies Corp. has performed for NASA to resupply the orbiting lab.
