Thanks for that first link! The first few minutes of the video after the cue are nearly as inspiring as the site of the launch and docking itself. THAT is one radiant group of human beings!
I hope Apollo astronauts Neil Armstrong and Eugene Cernan will show their support for Elon now that the mission was a success, partly due to collaboration with NASA. This is also NASA's victory, really, since they can save millions in the future by contracting with an American company instead of relying on the Russians.
Yeah, wow. He looks like he's about to cry. It really shows how much he wants this to succeed. I'm really rooting for the guy now, even though I don't know much about him and the SpaceX project. It makes me even happier to know that there was success.
He must feel on top of the world turning around a successful mission in the face of being rejected by his heroes. I know I want to feel like that.
