    They made it home safely! Good deal!

    On a side note, I wonder how much Elon Musk will make on the stock increase certain to happen tomorrow?

    It's all in "futures"---Space X is not traded publicly. If you want a piece of that action, you have to snuggle up to Mr Musk

    I think SpaceX is starting to really get their stuff together. That was about as flawless of a mission I can recall.

    I remember the old line: What's good for GM is good for the country.

    Now it should be: What is good for SpaceX is good for the country.

    Next time I'm in Las Vegas I'll try to check out the new Convention Center tunnels.

    Did Musk’s burrowing outfit build some tunnels there? He has so many projects, it is hard to keep up.
