NASA’s Morpheus lander skips the inferno, actually lands (video)
The last time NASA’s methane-fueled Morpheus lander took to the skies without training wheels (read: a tether), it didn’t go too well. Unless crashing and burning was the plan all along, that is. The Morpheus team have been beavering away since that incident over a year ago, and in a recent test at the Kennedy Space Center, have shown the craft is, in fact, capable of landing. While the video proof doesn’t feature much drama and spectacle as a result, we guess it means Morpheus can at least begin setting its sights on locations slightly more exotic than a Florida car park.
