Joke aside, good for him. I hope he has a safe trip.

So cool to watch the flight and see how fast (2,234 mph) and high (well over 330,000 feet) they went and to see the booster fly itself back to a landing pad in the desert shortly before the capsule landed softly in the desert. Space flight sure has come a long way.
