Let us smile and look at this great accomplishment.
I think this will interest you.
Merci.
Pity about the name. Just can't see NASA naming a shuttle "dragon". What's the next one gonna be, "Harry Potter?"
Excellent work!
So long NASA.

Exactly my friend, they actually produced great thoughts of engineering in reality, they are producers.
I totally agree with you friend, making good investment is knowing where producers are and have returns in long terms. Good thinking.
