Outdoors. Good for geezers.

Over a long, lucky life also saw live, wonderously, Apollo 8, miraculously, Apollo 11 and sadly, Challenger.

Most important imperative for humanity today is to hedge its survival bets by creating a sustained human colony off of the earth. Dragon is a step forward to realization of that imperative.

If humans are around 4500 years from now, Elon Musk's name will, alone, be known, just as Cheops is the only name we remember today from 4500 years ago. — at Iron Canyon.
