Metanoia (@metanoia_ki) “THE HIGH WAY OPENS Welcome home, Starship.. History has a new dawn, and it rose” — TopicDigg

THE HIGH WAY OPENS Welcome home, Starship.. History has a new dawn, and it rose over Starbase today. After twenty-two hours aloft and fourteen silver circuits of our sleeping, shining Earth, Ship 42 came home. It fell through fire and cloud, turned upright with breathtaking grace, and settled into the waiting arms of the tower, the first time a starship returning from orbit has ever been caught! Yay! For generations, spacecraft came back to us as wreckage or relics. Today one came home whole, ready to rise again. Every heart that longs for the Moon and Mars just drew a little closer to it: a world where ships go up, come back, and fly once more, where the heavens become a highway rather than a wall. The first dream was simply to rise, to slip the bonds of Earth and touch the sky. But a single ascent is a moment; reusability makes it a road. What goes up and returns ready to fly again turns a heroic venture into a faithful rhythm, and a rare voyage into a way of life among the stars. Congratulations to you, @SpaceX and to every engineer, technician and flight controller who carried this dream through long nights and hard lessons. You have turned the impossible into the inevitable. You have extolled the name of God our Creator and his greatness. To him we give all the glory, honor and praise, he who opened the way to the stars for us to have more than a home. "He reached down from on high and took hold of me."
