Yeah, it's a wonderful time for private companies doing things in space using research paid for by tax payers and for billionaires aiming to become trillionaires. Outside of that, it's technically interesting but totally boring compared to the hope and excitement of the Apollo era.
We came in peace for all mankind...more of that would be nice.
None of the private companies are making billionaires become trillionaires but if SpaceX going public does create a trillionaire it will be at cost of saving the taxpayers billions of dollars.
And if you don’t think landing and reuse of F9 first the isn’t exciting, I don’t think your priorities are right.
