Let them have some fun So, I suggest we cut these people some slack. Let them have some fun. They worked their tails off. Every time I watch the official launch and landing videos for the Falcon Heavy (as well as the civilian ones), I get chills up my spine as if I am witnessing something out of a science fiction movie. Except, I have to slap myself on the face, because it is real. That I have lived to actually see something like this fills me with pride. After all, we still have companies and individuals capable of doing such things in this nation -- at a time when we are politically divided and Americans are at each other's ideological throats on a daily basis. This must have been what it was like to see the Saturn V launches in the late 1960s: A fleeting pride in our nation's technological achievement against a backdrop of conflict and division regarding virtually everything. If a space launch like this can bring my nation together, even for the duration of a lunch break, I say give Elon Musk's company enough funding to do a Falcon Heavy launch every week until we run out of first-generation Tesla roadsters, or all three of the boosters can land with high levels of safety and precision, whatever the hell comes first.
