I am not that much of a space buff....but for some reason...when I see this video and the one posted by the OP - I get SOOO excited.
Perhaps it is the innovation of never seeing a rocket do a full-blown take-off and then land vertically and then seeing what the long-term result will be - which is orders of magnitude better and more efficient than how it is today....that just gets me excited.
But I am truly glad to be alive today and glad Elon Musk is who he is....and doing what he is doing.
In 40 years, if he continues on his current trajectory, my kids will find it weird that space travel was "novel" in my generation.

That's VERY exciting.
