Space exploration has another successful launch. Every launch brings us closer to making the eventual movement to other planetary or large station migrations. 60 million years ago a six mile length asteroid changed the world and the possibility of a repeat occurrence should be prepared for. We are only at the beginning of this preparation and what we do today with the ability to do what couldn't be done a hundred years ago is admirable by those who have the ability to fund it. This is the beginning of a process that will take several generations to complete. I am glad that all this started in 1903 with powered flight and we have reached this level of space travel in the past 60 years. Godspeed Jared this event is Inspirational.

Next will be an all civilian launch to the moon. This is only the beginning of whats to come. People living in this age are so lucky. We will see things happen nobody thought possible.

Do you think Bezos was taking notes? ORBIT is the name of the game. Spectator rocket rides don't count.

Is the second stage recovered and reused?
