What a joy to watch the launch of Falcon Heavy!
The little boy in me whooped in delight as control and the crowd counted down and wished I could have been there to witness. Elon Musk is currently the coolest person on the planet...wait...in the universe. A genius who was bullied at school and told he would't amount to much by his peers and father alike. How wrong they were.
The man is a pan galactic rockstar in my eyes and I hope he keeps surprising us and doing the things that the nay sayers said he could not achieve. Let's be honest, he has changed our world already with Tesla, the power and the car, one of which is now orbiting the earth. He has the best sense of humour too, as he put the words 'Don't Panic' on the dashboard of Falcon Heavy, a nod to Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, not to mention blasting out the sounds of Bowie's 'Life On Mars'.
Elon Musk, I salute you, as a South African, as a man, as a top human being. Mad love and respect to our Starman!
I was amazed to see the boosters landing, i couldn't believe it!
