The way the frickin' rockets separated, circled the globe, caused a sonic boom, and then landed with the smooth sure footed precision of Simone Biles. Fucking incredible

Obligatory "wouldn't it be cool if" (acknowledging that this is NOT going to be the result):

Wouldn't it be just the coolest fucking thing ever if our probe got there to discover the remnants of a SPACE STATION that definitely wasn't built by human hands?

that'd be some freakin stellaris shit right?

our civilization gets a dialogue box providing the options to repair it and research it to produce a bit of science every month, or we can scrap it for a nice instant boost of metals or something :p
