Up, up and down

THE EDITOR, Madam:

​Elon Musk has decreased his time in the Oval Office so he can attend to his other interests, and it’s probably a good idea.

SpaceX’s Flight 9 went up for quite a way, getting to empty outer space before yet again another boo-boo of some form happening, and it returned to a very full ocean. Boo-boo isn’t probably the most detailed scientific explanation, but it is accurate.

Space flights have always been dangerous, and explosions have occurred before, but now it seems that SpaceX seems to be making it compulsory. It’s a good thing Elon Musk is so wealthy, at present.
