Cosmic Girl and Launcher One have made it!

I watched the live video streaming until around 1am, to the point when ground station lost the signal; literally seconds from the satellites being dropped off into orbit. What a drama! At the end, it all went well. Quite frankly, I am still trying to absorb the magnitude of the fact that a part machined in our workshop is now in space, orbiting the earth.  But life goes on and today, Josh and James are back to their 'normal' routine designing, making, learning and constantly improving their skills. And we are back to selling watches. Yet there is one more thing that is worth pointing out: we live in strange times. If you are a maker of anything, and you feel that your product or project deserves a bit of attention, then you should really brace yourself for some harsh reality: most people simply could not care less about you or your product. We live in times were everyone else out there is just busy caring about themselves. A YouTube channel about putting satellites into orbit in a revolutionary new way by space engineers, backed up by a company that literally invented marketing 40 years ago has under 14K subscribers.

On the other hand, a video of a video game commentator which goes under the name PewDiePie drawing an airplane received 35 million views. The fact that loser has a following of 110 million brainwashed YouTube subscribers is beyond my comprehension.
