I have never rooted for a flap so hard, and likely never will. I am ready to buy flap merch. The energy of the SpaceX employees gave me goosebumps, this was great, it was hard not to get caught up in it- you know this is the culmination of years of hard work that is mostly theoretical until tests like these.

Life is really beautifully unpredictable. When I got up today (Central Europe, so several hours ahead of Texas), I never had an idea that a random steel flap is going to be my new superhero in mere hours.

Its tenacity in the face of hellfire was epic.

hearing the spacex is half the fun. Its fun to hear them cheer. and then hearing the Gasps and "ooooooh"s and wondering what do they know thats happening.
