My first thought: I can't wait for it to rear-end somebody.

My second: What if ElonMusk is an evil billionaire who murdered someone and put their body in that suit so he could flout getting away with it in front of the entire world -- knowing that by the time it's discovered, he'll be long passed away...? (Presuming he hasn't uploaded himself...)

Seriously now, watching the boosters land was a thrill.  It takes me back to the type of science fiction I grew up with.  And I still maintain there's no reason we shouldn't already have Space Station V and Moon Base Alpha but for a "progressive" agenda mission takeover.

Private initiative assuming more and more of a role -- and not just in space exploration and utilization -- will be the future, provided the collectivists don't blow it. The impressive technology of Falcon Heavy aside, that potential is  probably the biggest lesson to be learned here.

You'd think the guy would be a little less conflicted. Still, the "flamethrower" shows promise.
