SpaceX launched a mysterious spy plane rocket into space just before devastating Hurricane Irma struck Florida.
The Falcon 9 rocket carrying the X-37B lifted off yesterday - but its mission remains top secret.
It took off from Nasa 's Kennedy Space Centre in Florida at 10am.
Despite warnings earlier in the morning that the weather was only 50% favourable for the mission, the launch went ahead.
Luckily, the rocket that was used to launch the space plane landed safely on a designated landing zone.
