Elon Musk has proposed an unusual method of saving the second stage of the rocket Falcon

The owner of the company SpaceX Elon Musk has proposed a “balloon party” and “bouncy house” for the preservation of the second stage of the rocket Falcon after launch.

“This is going to sound crazy, but SpaceX will try to return with the orbital velocity of the upper stage using a giant balloon for parties,” wrote Mr Musk on Twitter, adding that the step should land on a “bouncy house”.

April 2, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 with the Dragon spacecraft. Two days after this Dragon successfully docked to the ISS.
