#1 Almost as significant as the first Mercury splashdown. Having actually been in a Mercury as a child, I don't say that lightly. Musk is doing what NASA couldn't. Or won't.

The next big step will be to actually build a planetary ship at a space station.

#4 It's like a Baby on Board sticker. Ostentatiously signaling you have done something that was done by others in the past. And, lessee. Private companies only got into this when a demand arose? Really?
