So I guess the space shot is not going to bring us together right???

12. My wife and I watched it together, along with a few other friends and relations virtually online.

I don't share Elon Musk's enthusiasm for manned space exploration (or automobiles, electric and otherwise) but my grandfather was an Apollo Project engineer and I honor that.

When my wife and I had just started dating one of our first dates was a visit to the Galeleo spacecraft at JPL. Turns out we both liked rockets, and we both knew various people working at JPL... which was like a wonderful surprise and coincidence. We do have our differences. My wife would love to visit the International Space Station. I hate flying of any sort, and would be even more reluctant to ride a rocket, so in that sense opposites do attract.

I've got to say the recovery of the Falcon first stage, landing tail first, is always a big thrill. I'm pretty sure that's how my grandfather imagined the future would look like when he joined the Army Air Corp so he could get the hell out of Cheyenne Wyoming.
