So cool to see space vehicles and exploration taking off again. (No pun intended!) I used to get up early to watch all the space shuttle launches ... including that fateful day when seven brave astronauts lost their lives. That tragedy was the first time a civilian (teacher) was to go into space, too. I cried and cried. Then it all just kind of faded away. The world became far less exciting though my 20's and 30's. But now we back at it again -- AND as a species, not just two cold war contestants, too! SO COOL!

I agree it is exciting. SpaceX has done a lot to reinvigorate spaceflight and now this could dramatically lower the cost of putting satellites into space. Progress is cool.
