SpaceX are building the cheapest rockets in history, its changing the shape of the launch market, and transforming our access to space. But doing so is extremely difficult and takes and engineering approach not previously seen in the space industry.

SpaceX have adopted a philosophy of simplicity and they apply its rigerously to their engineering approach. But how do you "Engineer" simplicity into the some of the most complicated machines ever built?

From the well known and obvious techniques, to some of the more suprising ways SpaceX build simplicity into every aspect of rocket design, manufacturing, launch and even the development process itself, this video hopes to give you an insight into the principles at work and the decisions that make it work.
