My brother works at SpaceX and sent me this link along with this message:
"I . . . called the test engineering manager for Dragon and said, 'I'm bored. Is there anything I can help out with out there this evening?' and he replied, 'Get over here ASAP! Grasshopper is about to hop!'"
This is just more proof that by studying insects, engineers and scientists can get a whole lot of inspiration for their designs. (Even if it looks nothing like a grasshopper.) And it's a huge leap for reusable spacecraft.
