I liked how slow it looked, even though it was moving at the speed of sound once it left the atmosphere.

It's actually a little terrifying just watching as the flat ground below the rocket starts to change and you see the curvature of the earth in such little time.

It's mainly the moving fast part (in atmosphere). Once you're in space cameras work fairly well - although they have to be in a special case, and the case will often get dirty and ruin the camera show lol.

i really want to live until 2100. if until there we haven't made any life-changing discovery from space or took space exploration into a whole new level, then i won't have any reason to live beyond that anyway.

Mars for sure. The other inner planets are unlikely, but who knows. There are also dwarf planets in the asteroid belt that could be potential targets (already a probe going to one next year). Other than that, there are already plans to send a probe to Titan to search for water and possibly life.

To think NASA does all this with only a half a percent of the U.S. budget. They need a serious pay raise.

Cost of getting 1kg to the orbit is close to the value of 1kg of gold.
