SpaceX Vision

If you’re wondering what all of the testing that SpaceX has been doing is for, then here’s an awesome reminder of what we are capable of when our minds are set to new horizons. If you’re a fan of space exploration, then you already know that SpaceX won a contract with NASA for sending cargo to the ISS. You’ve probably also seen the pretty amazing launch tests and landings that the Grasshopper has been completing.

This video shows the mindset that SpaceX has followed in order to re-imagine the possibilities with space flight that factors in reducing the costs incurred on these missions so that more can be done with less. Considering the amount of success that SpaceX has already achieved, and the beautiful minds that stretch into exploring the unknown, it looks like Elon Musk’s team has put a firm foot into outer space. Now if we can only keep our governments from profiteering from those achievements, then maybe we can see that these steps are indeed for humanity as the previous generation of space explorers from NASA and other space agencies recognized.

SpaceX’s vision shows us the possibilities when we move past questioning new practices and embrace radically changing models that only hold us back. And you have to admit that Elon Musk is definitely a person who travels on paths rarely trodden (how about the Tesla). This is the kind of leadership mentality that the 21st century needs more of. Not the antiquated, close-minded kind that we currently have all over our fragile planet.
