SpaceX Rocket Grasshopper Takes a Big Leap: VIDEO
SpaceX's experimental rocket Grasshopper, which can take off, hover, and land, reached a milestone this week, doubling its highest leap to date (24 stories or 80.1 meters (262.8 feet), hovering for approximately 34 seconds and landing safely). And this time it even had a lil man (Johnny Cash?) aboard.
Watch its "Ring of Fire" video, AFTER THE JUMP...
Wow, pretty cool and progress being made.
Nasa, get your sh*t together...

NASA doesn't need to get "it's sh*t together" -- the goal right now is to privatize space exploration, travel, commercialization. This is in-line with the goals.

In space, no one can hear Johnny Cash sing.

"Nasa, get your sh*t together..."
First off, it's an acronym, so it's NASA, not Nasa.
And they've done far cooler things than this for the last 50 years--much of that time without integrated circuits that make controlling the Grasshopper so much easier and cheaper.
