The twin streaks of light represent a time lapse photo showing both the launch and landing of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, which completed the round trip from Earth to space (where the rocket placed 11 satellites in orbit) and back in roughly 10 minutes. The Falcon blasted off from Launch Complex 40 at nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, then executed a perfect vertical landing and the former Launch Complex 13 -- now Landing Zone 1 -- a little more than five miles south from where it took off. It marked the first time a rocket delivered spacecraft into orbit and returned safely to Earth. SpaceX hopes to reuse their rockets, greatly reducing the cost of their space program. The reservists of the 920th Rescue Wing provide range clearance and safety contingency support for all rocket launches from CCAFS/Kennedy Space Center. (courtesy photo/SpaceX)

Loadmastsers with the 920th Rescue Wing inspect two RAMZ packs (Rigged Alternate Method Zodiac) in the back of a wing HC-130P/N King aircraft prior to a search-and-rescue mission. The packs each contain an inflatable Zodiac boat, an oxygen tank to inflate the boat, an outboard motor for the boat and medical equipment. When a survivor is spotted in the ocean, the RAMZ are pushed from the rear of the aircraft to parachute into the sea below. A team of pararescuemen follow, and once they’ve parachuted into the ocean, they assemble the RAMZ and use it to reach and rescue the survivor. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Paul Flipse)
