Nerm Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 That was so cool. I'm pretty excited about SpaceX. I have always been interested in space flight, particularly in manned missions and exploration.   I feel like today was a big step towards making it much more possible for the masses to have a chance to actually experience space flight in the foreseeable future. I always found it ironic that so many kids would say they want to be an astronaut when they grow up, and were told it can happen for them if they work hard in school. If a 10 year old boy says he has a goal of becoming an NFL quarterback, they are told that is very unlikely because there are so few people that can actually achieve that goal. Well, so far, the average ten year old (male) would have had a much better chance of becoming an NFL QB than they have had of becoming an astronaut that actually goes to space. I think today may have changed that.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
