Thanks. I have to say, I can imagine how my dad felt when he watched Neil Armstrong land on the moon.

When I saw a rocket that was as powerful as a rocket we had 50 years ago finally I thought, maybe we’re back.

When I saw those two booster rockets land simultaneously, I thought, holy crap! That’s what I’ve been talking about!

Not sure why 50 years later, our rocket technology is slightly better. In 50 years our computing technology has taken many mind boggling quantam leaps.

Just thinking out loud to people who may have an explanation.

Cause you didn’t have a South African American voracious SCIFI reader with the means to do it. (I resemble Musk in the voracious reading and being a RSA expat, but I honestly don’t have his intellect nor his means nor his stones.)

Science-fiction realized.
