Launch and landing were completed successfully as well as deploying a satellite in between.

California Dreaming.............SpaceX style.

Isn't it something amazing. Yes it is.

It's just fabulous but Spectre did it first in 1967

I always loved the Jupiter 16 capture, especially the air-line being cut.

More like the space version of Jaws.

Incredible accomplishments. I'd love to see space exploration higher on our priority list than it is today.
The excitement of the 1950-1980s is a shame to have lost.

I'd like to see more interest in looking after our own planet.

That should be plan A. Space exploration is plan B for when we make Earth uninhabitable.

All sort of reasons why we may have to leave the earth at some point, just ask the dinosaurs.

It’s aspirational and unifying, whats not to like , maybe the cost but possibly there’s a higher cost in not pursuing it.

The synchronized vertical landing a several months ago of the Space X rockets was the best and most exhilarating thing I've seen this century. If that didn't inspire thousands of wide-eyed kids around the globe to take an interest in rockets and space, I don't know what would.

It made me feel like a kid again just seeing it.

Problem as I see it is the news media just doesn't make a big deal about it.
Nothing like the excitement and support shown in the prior years
It's just not in their politically correct wheelhouse.
