It's strange to explain the postive feelings that I and I'm sure many others have here about SpaceX. I mean people have been saying how great it is for a private company to do this but at the end of the day nearly every NASA launch has been built by a private company. Yet somehow SpaceX and in particular, Elon Musk, has managed to do a great job of capturing the public excitement. When I started noticing a lot of my non-tech friends are talking about space and science (thank you Brian Cox, CERN etc!) again it gives me hope for the future. Perhaps its a generation thing, many of us in our 20s never really had those electrifying moments like a moon landing. Something just makes makes people really really want to see SpaceX succeed. Though let's hope this eventually translates into real investment at government levels once again.
