If you aren't up to date, spaceX is a private space company, founded and run by Elon Musk. This video is the latest in a series of tests on the way to make a reusable first stage rocket. Pretty damn cool if you ask me.
Keep in mind this thing is the size of an office block.

Damn, that 1st stage is 10 stories tall.
I'm not too sure about scaled composites, I'm sure that they will have a lucrative time, but the technology to get to sub orbital is vastly different from orbital. So i'm not sure how they will scale up their business without completly changing their buisness model.

Anyone heard much about bigelow aerospace? seems they already have a small space station testing out an inflatable section currently in orbit.
feels appropriate!
After I watched that video the first time, I thought of booting up my copy of Kerbal Space Program... but, I'm at work so... yeah...
That was unreal.
If you wanna know more elons swsx keynote is a great source.

Yep! This is a test of the grasshopper, which is a man-carrying variation of the dragon capsule. SpaceX wants to send 80,000 people to Mars, for $50,000 each.
Huh.... is this supposed to be a joke, everything you just said is wrong.
Tickets would be $500,000, not $50,000. Grasshopper is a different program than dragon.
Omg. Floating rocket landing pad :O.
Actually got to go and tour SpaceX headquarters where they build the Dragon spacecrafts and rockets here in CA. Was so fucking cool!
The Dragon II looks insane.
If they manage to recover this first stage on the first go, I'm going to go fucking nuts with excitement.
