It felt like a pretty historic moment, watching it live and utterly extraordinary throughout. Although when those two boosters landed perfectly upright, that was truly remarkable. Pity the third booster and centre core, that was intended to land on a moving platform out at sea didn't go to plan, but for first effort and given the technical challenges, it was quite an accomplishment overall.

Elon Musk has degrees in physics and economics, and initially made his money in online financial services. He founded a company that bought another one that had developed PayPal, and later sold it on to Ebay for gigabucks.

I just can't comprehend how someone can have so much money that he can afford to do this. I think it is truly amazing as he is doing what many countries can't afford. Good luck to him.

The way he's going, Musk will get humans on Mars before NASA. Thank God someone with his money has an optimistic vision for the future in these difficult times.
