I suppose all the guys cut from his cloth are weird to some degree or another, otherwise they wouldn't be successful at doing what they do (I think it is part of their driving factors). Like him/believe in him or not, he is accomplishing "something", that is without question. Whether is it sustainable, only time will tell.
I was more enthralled with what was happening, not by who was doing it. It could have been NASA, or the Russians or any other space types out there behind the launch and recovery. To think that the rocket boosters can take off and return home like a Homing Pigeon is for me, really cool to think about and see. I remember the space race and the landings on the moon, first shuttle flight etc. It still captures my attention and awe to this day.
