Wonder if Elon grew up on the Thunderbirds too.

I'm still processing it. Beyond the rain, the humid Florida breeze,
standing there in the dark watching all this... The thing that most
made it surreal was the agility, the dynamic behavior of that vehicle.
I grew up in Florida and once lived near the Cape. Instead of the
plodding, predictable, near ballistic, conservative trajectory we've
all been used to with large vehicles, there was this huge heavy thing
bouncing all over the sky. Big rockets just don't act that way.
