| Quote HarbingerDawn (  ) Why? That would make no sense.
The wings were pointed really high, unlike any other plane I've seen.

It's not a conventional plane. It's a lifting body.

| NASA has selected SpaceX to lease its Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A, which has launched such historic missions as the first Saturn V flight (Apollo 4), and the final flight of the Space Shuttle (STS-135). NASA and SpaceX will now begin to negotiate the terms of the lease.

| SpaceX's F9R development vehicle - a.k.a. Grasshopper 2 - has been observed at their McGregor, Texas rocket development facility. Unlike the previous Grasshopper, the new vehicle is representative of actual flight hardware, based on a Falcon 9 v1.1 first stage. Legs of that design will likely be flying on operational orbital missions within the next few months. Grasshopper 2 will perform early, low-altitude flight testing at McGregor, before moving to Spaceport America in New Mexico for high-speed, high-altitude testing which will more closely mimic the actual conditions the rocket stage will encounter on orbital missions.

| So, that's the new Grasshopper on the right?
Why does the base look so scorched?
EDIT:
Cool to finally see those legs deployed! I couldn't figure them out from the F9R diagrams floating around the internet.
The videos that come out of this baby are going to be insane!!!

| For some reason when I watch those SpaceX launch videos it feels like i'm watching an Orbiter video (but with realistic graphics). The way the camera moves feels very game/simulator-like.
I will be inactive on this forum for the time being. Might come back eventually

| That'll be the Hexacopter they have the camera mounted to. Very smooth and fine movement control.
