New record of the Grasshopper rocket: 744 meters and a successful landing

The Grasshopper reusable rocket ("Grasshopper") is one of the projects of Elon Mask. About this rocket on Habré news has already been published , mainly about the successful tests of the "Grasshopper". The more time passes, the more significant progress is made by the rocket. For example, on October 7, she set a new record, rising to a height of 744 meters and dropping back.





It is recommended to watch in HD :)



As you know, the Grasshopper is so named because the rocket was designed as a reusable one - after take-off, Grasshopper must land at the take-off location. So far, so good, so we can expect the following successful tests. By the way, "Grasshopper" is comparable in height to a ten-story house; it is not a miniature rocket.
