High-speed video of SpaceX missions is hauntingly beautiful
Watch Next

Elon Musk's SpaceX has released new video footage from three of its past missions, but the latest clips aren't the typical launch and landing videos.

Instead, the spot features high-speed closeups of the private space company's rockets -- all set to a perfectly eerie soundtrack.

The video is sourced from three SpaceX missions: May's successful mission, July's launch and landing of a cargo rocket that delivered supplies to the International Space Station, and last December's launch of 11 satellites into orbit.
