Success!
Congratulations to everyone involved in the success of today’s landing of SpaceX‘s Falcon 9 first stage rocket! Amazing, amazing achievement to send a full laden rocket, payload headed to the International Space Station, into space and bring its first stage back down to a perfect landing a small barge floating in the Atlantic Ocean. This is a fantastic tribute to the potential of what man’s mind can achieve when he is left free (even relatively free) to dream and pursue those dreams.
This is something that would never have been possible if inequality critics had their way and imposed confiscatory taxes on the most successful people. Elon Musk could never have started SpaceX if he had had large chunks of the wealth he earned in creating PayPal taken away from him. This is definitely a success for inequality!
Here is a tweet from SpaceX of the view from the rocket as it landed.
