SpaceX Reusable Rocket, The Grasshopper!!

Elon Musk formally announced his company's plans to create a reusable rocket that, if successful, could drastically change the way we do business in space and will expand our exploration ventures to the moon, asteroids, mars, and beyond.

I provide commentary on the subject. I also included an interview with Garrett Reisman, an ex-shuttle astronaut who is working on the launch abort system for the dragon capsule.

Also let me know what you think of my new backround music. I spent a lot of time on it, and the music is the main reason I haven't uploaded a video sooner.

The video shows a landing of the second stage at KSC. Does this indicate that the second stage will have a cross-range capability similar to the shuttle?

@fvgdfbdokd thats the goal. although they're not giving out any details as to how that will be possible.

Dude, don't get rid of your music bed, just reduce the volume of it...That is all I am saying...It should be in the background to complement your video blog, not be the main focus of your video blog...All in all, it is a decent video...Cheers!

@erikson22407 Thank you

[erikson22407]

Very informative video! My only critique is for post production: THROTTLE DOWN YOUR MUSIC BED! It is distracting...Otherwise, the video blog is inspiring for what things are to come. I look forward to seeing if Elon and company can make a truly totally reusable launch system.

The problem with re-usability is the same problem the Space Shuttle had: EVERY component will have to be reconditioned and re-certified. THAT is where the added costs come in. 1000 launches is unrealistic.

@erikson22407 *sigh* another music complaint. If you watch some of my more recent videos you'll see that problem has been resolved. But either way thanks for liking my video!

Great video!!

Great video

@RyanBlockb5 Thank you very much. Don't worry I'll have a new video about that up soon.

I was very pleased to see you video in my sub box. Like always worth the wait. About the music it's not why I enjoy your videos but it is nice to have it in the back ground. I would suggest removing it when your interviewing someone so everyone is better understood.

In your next vid can you express your thoughts on ESA using the Russians Soyuz rocket in French Guiana and China launching the first module of their station.
