That was just awesome. So incredible to see the first stage land on a drone ship.

The whole operation looked absolutely effortless. Instant, smooth liftoff. Everything worked exactly as intended, Bob and Doug looked like they were rolling down the highway in a Cadillac.

Super duper impressive. Super happy to see this!

Not everyone likes Elon, but you got to admit he is really doing tangible things.

For sure. I know some folks who work for him. Not a lot of fun, apparently, but he does get it done.

Yeah, but every ambitious and successful person is like that... in science, sports, music, etc.

It's a required personality trait for those types of people.

That was amazing to watch. Brought quite a lump to my throat.

The first stage retrieval process is quite extraordinary.

The late Stephen Hawking admonished us to move to Mars. I am not making this up. He stated that we would go to war with AI drones and lose. This is a first step.
