## What Jamie wrote

I watched the replay of the Starship launch and it truly a marvel. It was incredible watching the booster return to the earth and the launch pad catching it with these giant "chopsticks". SpaceX is changing the world in huge ways. I mostly agree with DHH's commentary here, but I think he misses a really big difference that is very meaningful.

When we were all crowded around TV's watching the Apollo mission we were watching something that "we" were doing. US taxpayers were funding the Government and NASA to do this amazing thing. There is a role that all of us, every single American, played in that.

SpaceX we are watching the amazing results of a private company. Not even a public one that we can participate and be part of as a shareholder. These miracles and wonders are great, but they ultimately benefit a very small set of capital holders.

It is something we watch "them" do, not something "we" made happen.
