video : LDSD: Supersonic Test Flight (HD)  quote:NASA's Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD) project successfully flew a rocket-powered, saucer-shaped test vehicle into near-space in late June from the U.S. Navy's Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai, Hawaii. The goal of this experimental flight test, the first of three planned for the project, was to determine if the balloon-launched, rocket-powered, saucer-shaped, design could reach the altitudes and airspeeds needed to test two new breakthrough technologies destined for future Mars missions. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-271 funky space poo poo can't wait til we get to Mars, colonize it and stick a McDonalds on it tbh
