That was the most amazing thing I’ve seen since I watched the moon landing long ago, late at night.

Watched it. Brought tears!

Still curious about the center booster, but even if that did a face plant, the launch was still a success.

It jumped off the pad.

Pretty impressive for such a big “stack” yes?

At first I mocked Musk for sending a Roadster into space.

When I saw it flying into the darkness with the starman mannequin at the wheel I changed my mind. Brilliant marketing.

5000 years from now an alien species will wonder what kind of polymer life form created such a thing.

Space-X should get an Emmy (or whatever) for best TV special of 2018.
