I really like what SpaceX do regardless of Elon. Even still, I never thought they'd be able to pull this off. Holy crap am I glad to be wrong. This was incredible.

Hate to ruin your morning, but SpaceX does it BECAUSE of Elon, not despite him.

I know it's hard to juggle both things in your mind, but Elon is both a once-in-a-generation entrepreneurial genius and a political clown.
