Ditto HiAdrian's remarks. This is one of the most exciting space film/video's I've ever seen. The only other emotion one feels is extreme envy for those lucky few who had worked on this project and got to witness the fruits of their labors.
The spirit of 1960's NASA lives on!

I can't wait to go to the moon! :)

Virgin Galactic, Space X...
Hopefully more companies will plug in the space competition. Private money are more effective than government money. And private space exploration wouldn't stress government budget.

This stuff is exciting. Imagine you worked on such a project for years and now you sit there watching it, and it's all in the hands of automated mechanisms (you hopefully designed right).

Awesome, very amazing to see this accomplishment

Jeez, I had a feeling an accomplishment like this might bring about right-wing "free market" fundamentalists because this is a success of a private effort. I really hate when people try to bring politics into spaceflight because it really is an apoltical, pan-human triumph. 'Socialist' countries like China and the former Soviet Union have rockets just as reliable (some more so) as ours. Technology and know-how is what makes it fly.
Whatever you politics, reach for the stars.

Ukrainian rockets do not use SpaceX engines. Only SpaceX uses SpaceX engines, and it will stay that way until SpaceX decides to sell the design.

you can see space everytime you look up at a clear sky at night

Not sure -- but the engines used (Merlin Kestrel) were developed in-house by SpaceX, from scratch. |
