[ExI] bond villain

[Dan TheBookMan]

It is exciting for now, though it’ll eventually become routine. I recall reading that the public kind of lost interest in the Apollo program after the first Moon landing, and then the Apollo 13 disaster happened, but after that interest seemed to decline again. 

The big deal about this flight got me is it seems an important milestone along the path to routine and far less expensive access to space. SpaceX even has tourist missions planned for next year. Personally, I want this to become so routine, safe, and cheap that it becomes boring. 

Regards,

Dan
