Hats off to Elon Musk. Exactly 10 years ago, the first reusable rocket landing was achieved.

NASA said it couldn’t be done.

And now, SpaceX does it almost daily. It puts 85% of all mass into space globally and single-handedly returned the USA to manned space launch.

Cheaper than anyone else in the world, by a lot.

Barack Obama had us paying Vladimir Putin $90 million a seat on his ancient rockets. Talk about “leading from behind.”

SpaceX now puts them up there for $16 million.

And if you invested a dollar in SpaceX that day, you’d have $56 today.

For comparison, everything ever invested in NASA is long gone.
