    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I've been lucky enough to watch every launch attempt since the first hopper and this one was absolutely incredible.
    The camera shots from the first stage fin cruise and the plasma on re-entry
    The advancements they make on every test is mind boggling. Elon is not of this planet.

    The body is the instrument on which imagination plays.

    I'd need to find out why the Starship seemed to lose control before/during reentry...
