I was an infant during Apollo. But grew up in it's shadow and expected (due to Apollo, Space Shuttle, Starwars, Space 1999 etc) that we would be there, I spent decades dissapointed.

I was happy to see this work, or for a big kablooey, all fantastic entertainment via social media. But where this would have been the talking point for weeks not so long ago, won't register much of a blip coz apparently, "rich man bad".

This should be a moment if you were an American, of intense pride.
