    Hopefully now we see some kind of acceleration toward the lunar programs and unmanned Mars rockets.

    Get the feeling we're going to need Small Modular Reactor tech to come along and help power any Lunar/Martian colony tho.

    Docking went smooth. That vehicle looks quite smart, much more refined than NASA ships of old

    Loved watching the retro rockets firing as the computer brought it in.

    Quoted as something like 30 buttons and touch screens versus the Space Shuttle's 2000 switches and circuit breakers

    Not even the ones of old, look at what SpaceX competitors are throwing together. Switches everywhere.

    Mine was delayed and I pushed the next icon on the video to skip it live. Must have broken the ads doing that?
