Elon Musk, founder and leader of SpaceX, announced Thursday the company will attempt to build a fully reusable system, from launcher to space capsule, based on the Falcon 9/Dragon configuration the company is already developing.
Musk has always said he started SpaceX to help humanity explore and colonize the Solar System. If the company can create a stack that could fly perhaps a thousand times, he will have taken a huge step towards that goal.
Musk said the approach they will pursue works in simulations, but he put no timetable on the effort.
