I think for this year a third comparison might be in order : SpaceX versus rest of world (including other US launches). They are already tied 10 all.

Just tell her that they are just balloons with Peter Dinklage in the tail with a flamethrower to shove them out of sight…so our air farce can have practice.

Otherwise when you talk solids vs liquids….pressure-fed vs pump-fed…methalox vs kerolox vs hydrolox vs hypergolic…NTR vs NEP…stage-and-a-half…her eyes won’t glaze over.

A little OT, but I finally heard the words that every father hopes to hear from his kids: “So Dad, how do rockets really work anyway?!”

Unfortunately, my daughter is nearly 40 years old, but way to pump up the enthusiasm, Elon!

Yes…but it was a little off-putting when I was the only one saying yes while watching the landing…..
