Landing rockets used to be the stuff of movies. Now? SpaceX pulls it off mid-week and everyone just keeps scrolling like it's no big deal.

NASA burned through $23 billion trying to crack reusable rocket tech with their SLS program. Result? Total failure. Meanwhile, this guy's out here catching 20-story metal tubes like it's a casual weekend hobby.

The gap between "impossible" and "routine" got crossed so fast we barely noticed. That's the thing about real innovation—it stops feeling impressive the moment it starts working.

Rocket recovery has transformed from science fiction to routine operation; Musk has truly made the impossible a regular affair. --- $23B get dumped, and nothing came out of it; this gap is really astonishing. --- Just for a laugh, recovering rockets is nothing; true success will be when we all take it for granted. --- No wonder everyone brushes it off; it's no longer something extraordinary. --- True innovation is like this: from shocking to ordinary, just a blink of an eye. --- NASA's $23B was definitely not spent wisely; one person's idea can overturn an entire organization. --- That's why I have faith in Musk; there are not many who can turn dreams into reality.

Wow, 2.3 billion dollars down the drain, Musk flexing directly, this comparison is too ironic.

2.3 billion get dumped and there's still nothing, this guy Musk takes the opposite position and turns the rocket around to catch it, the circle is really chaotic.
