Many thanks for this commentary - really helpful for me to get “up to speed” on the significance of Oct 13, 2024. We think of disposable rockets just because the reusable idea was too hard a problem to solve. Until SpaceX that is. Why would I have a disposable car, destroyed after a trip to relatives two states over? Or a disposable jet, thrown away after a cross country trip? Refuel and take off again in a few hours, now that’s amazing, and now SpaceX is building a factory to pump out 1,000 of the Starships per year. I cannot believe that I have lived long enough to see this day. Am able to dream again - of a vacation in space, to the Moon, and to Mars.
