Watch SpaceXs reusable rocket hover at high altitude, scare some cows, and then land perfectly again
2014-05-02 13:57:52| Extremetech
SpaceX has had a pretty good run the last couple of weeks. The main booster from its CRS-3 resupply mission to the ISS returned to Earth and landed softly in the Atlantic Ocean -- a world first for space launches. Then it won an injunction against its arch rival, the Boeing/Lockheed United Launch Alliance, which forbade them from using Russian rocket engines. And now, SpaceX has successfully completed a high-altitude (1,000-meter) test flight for its Falcon 9 Reusable rocket -- and, of course, there's an amazing accompanying video, complete with with stampeding cows and beautiful hexacopter-filmed footage of the massive rocket hovering in mid-air.
