I watched the live Mars landing last week, excited to see a rocket touchdown, live, on the red planet.

Instead, I was underwhelmed.

The live stream only showed an animation of the landing, not the real thing, and some reaction shots from NASA personnel.

It's not that landing on Mars isn't super cool -- it is! It's just that I've been spoiled by SpaceX, who provide awesome livestreams of everything they do, and always put on such a good show.

NASA eventually came through with the goods, and shared some breathtaking visuals, so in the end I was happy.

But what a time to be alive, when I can see incredible achievements like this, and feel like they’re NOT the best we’re capable of.

Meanwhile, I'm hanging out for that first commercial flight to Mars...

It was a pretty sick mission. Especially how it lowered the rover on a crane and then untethered and flew away.

But yeah the SpaceX stuff has been remarkable.

Awesome CryptoArt Piece on the wall!
