ACEIZE Tracking the current state of Science and Technology

A rocket costs about $50 million. The fuel for a single launch costs about $200,000. A great way to save money is to keep the rocket after each launch. People realized this a while ago. The space shuttle was an attempt to move in the direction of reusable space craft. Now Space X is making some noise on the reusable craft scene. They recently announced that they will start attempting to develop a reusable launch platform.

Their announcement comes complete with an animation that is impressive for it's technological vision and the quality of animation itself.
