Won’t it be exciting when SpaceX become a real rocket company… There are still many who don’t even know who/what SpaceX is/are, and others who just think Elon Musk is a rich kid who blows up rockets because he can’t get them to work properly… Seriously – the guy is doing himself (and Tesla) no favours at all! Still – gives me lots to talk about! (My wife wants to know when he’ll make a Startrek Spaceship – my answer is…. er, not yet, but we are MUCH closer. Just gotta nail those harmonic wobbles.)
