[quote]The chance of success is only around 30% to 40%. But the risk is worth it for Musk because he has bigger plans for this rocket. His team will pluck it from its landing spot in the ocean, refurbish it and fly it again. Musk hopes that, by the end of the year, he can send it back to space and return it to Earth one more time — but he'll skip the ocean, and land this four-legged spacecraft on land instead. It will be the extra jumpstart Musk needs to press on with his goal of making reusable rockets feasible, drastically cutting the cost of spaceflight.[/quote] [url]http://mashable.com/2014/04/18/elon-musk-spacex-grasshopper-launch/[/url]
