Things like this stop my heart, they’re so beautiful. These are average Americans jerking around with stuff any of us could buy and hack together, and they’re able to send a craft to the edge of space and retrieve it. It’s absolutely breathtaking. When I was a boy—which wasn’t all that long ago—we schemed about doing things like this, but they were simply impossible. And now? Now we don’t do them not because we can’t, but because we can’t be bothered.
What other amazing things are we not doing right now because we are wrapped up in dicking around with inconsequential shit on our phones or bickering on Facebook? How badly do we let down the twelve-year-old versions of ourselves each day?
