I agree, I’ve never been been a fan of Musk one way or another but this was damn amazing. Kudos to him and the team who engineered this. Putting the car in there was brilliant IMO.

And the boosters landing like that? Wow!

Maybe if you learned more about him you would be a fan. I guarantee the snarky comments from those on FR with Musk Derangement Syndrome aren’t a good source of information.

Politics aside, he's an amazing guy. When he announced plans to go to space, I thought he was absolutely off his rocker. Where would the financial returns come from?

I remember the buttoned down, white collared, crew cut guys in the control rooms during Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Spacelab, et al. Watching all those excited young engineers whooping and hollering in their exuberance...wow. That wasn't the Gene Krantz way to behave.

"OK, boys (and girls), back to work!"
