First, there was Grasshopper.

Then came the Falcon 9 "flight-proven" rocket. Then the Falcon Heavy. Now, Elon Musk's SpaceX is working on the latest iteration of its reusable rocket concept -- the "Starship."

Earlier this week, SpaceX completed the last of four test flights of a smaller prototype of the massive Starship spacecraft that he hopes to one day use to colonize Mars. The test bed in question, dubbed "Starhopper," had previously fired its new Raptor engine twice while tied down to the ground, and then a third time -- untied this time -- saw Starhopper lift 20 meters into the air before settling back to Earth.
