That was absolutely awesome! SpaceX has truly made progress in an astounding way.

I was just under 2yo when we landed on the moon the first time. I have memories of watching later landings. And here I am blithely watching a live shot of a private space company on my phone.

It's good to see you excited, my friend!

It is exciting. As you know, I grew up during Apollo, although you may not know my dad had small part in that.

I could never get really excited about Space Shuttle, it seemed like a giant kludge without real direction or purpose. I guess the problem was it had too many directions and too many purposes.

Reusable spacecraft like the Falcon 9 and the Starship/SuperHeavy are amazing. They have purpose and success, and it’s pretty exciting.
