    Just saw this, pity they couldn't keep the landing gear out of the shot but still a great video. I'd love to be doing this.

    The test flight was successfully demonstrated at the Kennedy Space Center on 5th March, 2014. It flew up to 467 feet high and 637 feet laterally. Part of the mission was to simulate hazard avoidance, which it did by choosing an alternative landing spot 56 feet away from where it started, eventually ending its mission less than 1 foot away from the projected touch down spot.
