I thought of those words during the thrilling test launch of "Space-X Falcon Heavy" this afternoon.
The large rockets made a beautiful sight but that is hardly all.

Falcon Heavy paid homage to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy with Starman in a Tesla put into space.
And, then, as if all of this wasn't enough, the two side boosters came back to earth in a simultaneous landing.

This was an amazing, and thrilling, test. Innovation and science are really cool regardless of which branch of science scores that latest achievement. I hope science teachers throughout our nation use this as an example.
Congratulations, Space-X.
