A lot of people think that all of this is No-Big-Deal, and that we should be spending the money elsewhere.

That is an amazing feat! I have been in the biz since 1985 and it is incredible what has been developed, tested, flown, landed......it is more like Buck Rodgers than ever before. I am so thrilled to see SpaceX, Blue Origin, and of course the old work horses, Delta and Atlas doing well. Brevard is coming back.

This was also for the first launch from complex 40 since SpaceX blew up on the pad and ruined it.

I went to the cape with the kids and what a surge of pride I got. It's an amazing place. It's the best of our country and the spirit of achievement. What spacex is doing is exciting. Same with Boeing. Out of the ashes of the space shuttle comes a new optimism that feels very familiar.
