Gratz to SpaceX and Elon Musk. In a 20 minute span of time they launched the Dragon 9 spacecraft to orbital height, deployed 11 satellites, and successfully landed the first stage booster back at Cape Canaveral for re-use. An amazing accomplishment.


Sadly, it was completely ignored by the American media, who seem to think that political gossip is more newsworthy than the single greatest American technological accomplishment since 1969.

Yes quite wonderful. I'm pleased to see they are reusing and not just junking things. Much more successful than last time.

Curious, in a way, that there was a short, fat, shuttlecock-type vertical lander that was successfully demonstrated something like 10yrs ago; seems like it's taken a long time to deploy operationally.

Aside from this, Elon, Musk, Dragon & 9 are all references I get frequently.
Martin Luther King - "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
Albert Camus - "The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion".
Douglas MacArthur — "Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons."
Albert Camus - "Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear."
