I am an engineer who builds with a computer. And when I see such things as this, I sometimes spend a minute or so marveling and thinking about the complexity of building and orchestrating such a launch. In fact, I really cannot comprehend how something like this can be successfully done, given how so many things could go wrong. Yes, I understand the idea of redundancy, I understand gravity, I understand that physics and chemistry goes into this, but still, the engineer in me wonders how on earth can we make all of this work together. Really, kudos to spaceX, kudos to NASA, and and kudos to those who believe in science.
