    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    Watched a clip of the launch. Looks
    Like the same junk we’ve been primitively lobbing up there since the 60s!
    Where’s the innovation?! Why can’t JJP make space ships?!

    Same junk??? That junk won us (USA) the space race back in the 60s and put us on the moon before the USSR. Your comment is disrespectful to the men and women that made that happen. There is nothing and has never been anything “primitive” about putting our astronauts into space. Innovation??? Physics hasn’t changed and never will...this IS innovative and an inspiration to the American spirit of exploration and something that has been missing from our country for a long time. NASA and the private sector just pulled off something absolutely extraordinary and you are being negative and dismissive???

    If JJP made the “space ships”, an ignorant description of the Falcon 9, they would have delayed the launch for at least another six months and the Falcon 9 would have never made it off the launchpad. Show some pride in the country in which you live in and be thankful for what WE as a nation have just accomplished. While many brilliant people have been working for years on how to successfully send our astronauts to space and return them home safely, you have been making videos of yourself rocking out on guitar in your NYC apartment. I’d say they have been just a little bit more productive than you.

    I typically appreciate your opinion even if I disagree, but this is just disrespectful. This launch was a VERY big deal and unfortunately didn’t get the attention it deserved because of what’s going on in our country right now. You are an American right???
