And this achievement should excite us why?
If this wasn’t sarcasm, then I challenge you to design a vehicle that accelerates from 0 to 18000mph, over 200 miles, which also has to get to the exact correct angle relative to the earths surface to achieve orbit, and neither crash and burn back to earth nor fly off to infinity. Then approach a teeny tiny dot at an exact altitude and location and velocity, and link up with it. Then leave that dot, and enter the atmosphere at an exact time, at an exact angle, so you neither bounce off it, and fly into infinity, not burn to a cinder. And then after not burning up, land at an exact spot, while the planet is moving and rotating. Finally slowing from 18000mph to 0
