What an amazing sentence. We have stuff like airplanes and space laboratories and we are talking about it on our computers over the internet. Mind-blowing. Humans, man. So great.

It's one of the best articles of theirs I've ever read, and I think I've read just about all of them. It's the best since the one I read 2 summers ago.

I hope so. but with NASA's knowledge base... maybe spaceX can absorb alot from them?

Yes, American People. But People nonetheless.

We are terrifically outstanding creatures sometimes.
