SpaceX released footage today of one of its rockets crash-landing on a barge.<\/p>\n

The crash occurred\u00a0last week when its Falcon 9 came in at a 45-degree angle and smashed its legs and engine section, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said.<\/p>\n

The landing was attempted\u00a0in order to be able to preserve the craft for future missions. Being able to recycle rockets is something Musk said<\/a> will “revolutionize access to space.”<\/p>\n

“If one can figure out how to effectively reuse rockets just like airplanes, the cost of access to space will be reduced by as much as a factor of a hundred,” he said.<\/p>\n

The rocket\u00a0was not manned.<\/p>\n
