Also...pretty interesting to note that we& #39;ve never cared about the Stage 1 booster landing less.... I mean, yes it& #39;s amazing. But just like... not as exciting as what& #39;s going to orbit :)

You know who is the last person& #39;s opinion I want to hear about right now? the President& #39;s.
Reminder, the mission is not over. We can celebrate when Bob and Doug are back home in few months (anywhere from 1-4 months).
But this is such a beautiful start.
