I checked their web site.

Apparently it still was able to make intended orbit.

No, that was the launch to the ISS. There were two SpaceX launches, and on each launch one Merlin engine failed. This article refers to the second launch, and the satellite apparently cannot reach its intended orbit. The launch was a dual satellite launch, and one of the satellites was successful, and one not.

They do seem to need to fix a problem in the Merlin engine.

Oops, I was wrong. I read another article, and it seemed to be referring to two launches. This launch was successful in its primary mission, but the secondary mission was not successful.

This:

No other rocket currently flying has this ability," privately owned SpaceX said in a statement.

Is actually what I was talking about.

I thought other rockets had this capability?
