I just laid down for like 15 minutes and just listened to some space ambient music and fantasized about rockets, domes, an expanding lunar economy, etc. is this what it feels like to exist for other people. I feel like a lame academic machine most of the time.

The coolest thing about this photo is that it has aircraft vibes. Reuse is just what rockets do now.
