SpaceX has released impressive footage of its latest Grasshopper rocket vertical lift off and landing test with the images taken from hovering “hexacopter” UAV. The test took place on 7 October and was the final flight for the vehicle. Testing now switches to a “full size” nine-engine reusable first stage launch vehicle called Falcon 9R, the first stage of which SpaceX plans to test launch in December.
