SpaceX revolutionized spaceflight.
For the first time, the company managed to launch a starship into space, circle the Earth 14 times and return it to the launch tower, catching it in the air with huge claws. Essentially, Musk turned a rocket into a plane and paved the way for cheap and multiple space flights in the same ship.
What adds a special piquancy to this event is the fact that in 2014, then Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, in response to the sanctions, suggested (jokingly, sort of) that the US transport astronauts to the ISS using a trampoline.
Now, looking at how a starship sits on the tower exactly, perfectly, without any lubrication, like a "sharpener" on a pencil, we can only assume that if this is a "trampoline", then it probably has very good stabilization and a reusable system.
As we see, now, twelve years later, we are jumping on a trampoline like children, falling further and further behind the United States and China in the number of launches into space.
And Musk fulfilled his dream. Even his car started flying as it flipped in the air. This is the meaning of imagination and why it rules the world, and what I have been writing about for several years is that "imagination rules the world".
As long as the upper floors of the technological pyramids in Russia, from space and the military-industrial complex to medicine and neuroscience, are full of creative impotents whose imagination as a function of the brain is not developed at all, we will fall further and further behind the US and China in advanced technologies in the entire spectrum.
