I LOVE hearing the sound of the SpaceX Boca team cheering in the background!

It's so amazing that we can do these things regularly these days and as amazing, we all get to watch it live on our own tiny devices in HD. Technology has progressed exponentially, and see the difference from the year 2000 to now 2020, what will the world look and work like in 2040?

The joy and excitement from you guys after the hop was wonderful and humorous to listen to 😉

The cheers in the background when the smoke clears are just so awesome they deserve it they really do

[HarvickOne]

That has got to be the heaviest VTOL vehicle every flown

It’s awesome that I am much more interested in seeing a full stacked starship than anything else happening in my life right now

That massive roar of only just 1 engine. 🚀

I know that most likely nobody will read this, but Elon, freaking well done, man! Today is my birthday I turned 41 and I couldn't ask for a better present. I genuinely believe in space flight and colonisation, I have read many sci-fi books, big fan of Carl Sagan, Arthur C Clarke and Isaac Asimov, amongst many others and I just got, on my birthday a taste of the weird and wonderful things I have read about. Thank you! I run my own company selling CNC machines, and hope that perhaps one day I will contrubute to the future too. Rafael Valerian Atomulesei
