BTW, the booster landings back on earth, integral to Elon’s strategy for space travel —- he has now successfully landed 400 boosters to reuse. Amazing physics.
Please. Without Musk this would never have happened.
Reference Walter Isaacson’s biography last year of Musk. So intriguing.

I really enjoyed reading Musk's biography. Not an easy man to work for but has accomplished so much.
