SpaceX Grasshopper Rocket Launches, Hovers, And Lands

Apr 232013

SpaceX is one of the the world’s only private space exploration companies. When the company first started, many scoffed at the idea of private space exploration, but now, with videos like this one of their impressive rockets, they are being taken much more seriously.

Their latest achievement is the Vertical Takeoff Vertical Landing Grasshopper rocket reaching a height of 820 feet in the air.

In this brand new video, the ten story rocket ignites, lifts off, hovers around 800 feet, and then safety and softly touches back down, all while Johnny Cash appropriately plays Ring Of Fire. Already, the new video has garnered over a quarter million views.

Gopher Lives Under Space Rocket Launching Pad

Aug 022012

This video was published in May by malygin, but is has only gone viral at the end of July, and now stands with over 400,000 videos.

NPR reports on the video that it was taken by accident in Baikonur, Kazhakhstan, the famous space rocket launching location that sent Sputnik into the sky that frightened Americans in 1957.

Apparently, a camera left his camera on the ground right next to a gopher’s house. The rodent doesn’t seem too impressed with the nearby rockets, and is more focused on the camera that’s intruding into his ‘front yard.’

The video is also covered on Arbroath, io9, TastefullyO, and IrenesInternet.
