Regardless of NASA'a awesome achievements (in spite of Congress), that's one thing they could never achieve. Without cheap and ubiquitous space access, there is no chance of the common man seeing space. My Dad grew up thinking he may one day get to go to space, when the space race was all about manned exploration (well, manned patriotic achievements anyway). I grew up doubting my grandchildren would ever see space, thanks to the current vision of robotic exploration. SpaceX is taking us back to the vision of man wandering the stars. A rocket, and hopefully soon a capsule, standing tall after a powered landing is simply the promise that someone is again working towards manned exploration. My son now has dreams of going into space. While I'm not that optimistic, I have hope for his children.

Just a heads-up that we seem to be on track for a launch tomorrow morning around 9:30 Central. I'll barely even be getting to work at that time, so I probably won't be on much beforehand, but I'll try to bump it in the morning if they thread has fallen off the front page.
Another (yawn) barge landing for this one. They'll be coming in hot again, so we'll see if they've really gotten the process down at this point - going for four in a row! |
