That moment when grown men start crying…

OK I admit it. I cried. A little… So there are many emotional moments in a life but seeing the succesful launch of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy is one of those. I cannot not be impressed of the work it must have taken to a) design the thing, b) build the thing, c) launch the thing and d) bring the freaking boosters back to Earth. Oh and the secret e) the social media coverage and small touches from the Tesla Roaster onboard, Space Man,  the “Don’t Panic” text on the screen, the plaque of names and finally but not least Life on Mars by David Bowie playing alongside. Wow! Just wow!

I highly recommend watching the video of the launch with the intro or if you’re not quite to it the actual launch from T-10 seconds below it.
