US-SPACE-FILES
(FILES) Photo dated April 5, 2011 shows SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk speaking behind models of the Falcon 9 (L) and the Falcon Heavy (R) rockets at the National Press Club in Washington. The US company SpaceX is working on the first-ever reusable rocket to launch to space and back, with the goal of one day helping humans colonize Mars, Musk said on September 29, 2011. The vehicle would be a reusable version of the Falcon 9 rocket which SpaceX used to propel its Dragon space capsule to low Earth-orbit on a test mission last year. Its first cargo trip to the International Space Station is set for January. Being able to reuse the rocket would save tens of millions of dollars and would bring the notion of making trips to visit or even live on other planets, namely Mars, closer to reality, Musk told reporters at the National Press Club.
