What I find silly is the certainty that critics have that SpaceX will fail.

When I started my own business, everyone thought it was doomed to failure. Friends, enemies, acquaintances, all of them.

Except my dad. He believed in me, though he had no idea what I was doing.

Musk is in good company with the crazy people who build the first tunnel under the Thames, the nuts who laid the first transatlantic people, the morons who dug the Panama Canal, and the fools who built the first transcontinental railroad.

Me, I bought me some SPCX.

A bit strange that you started you comment with the exact same sentence as the previous commenter.
