And they were able to dominate the technology to make something big and beautiful and potentially where a lot of the information comes from other places.”

On Friday, SpaceX tried the test flight again, and this time it was a success ... with the journey lasting over an hour before the rocket splashed down in the Indian Ocean and detonated like a 12,000-pound bomb.

St. Clair says she told Elon not to say more when he said the piece he was talking about shouldn't even be on the proverbial chessboard -- because she didn't want to be deposed later on ... so, he never told her exactly what he meant by the comment.
