Good morning 🌤️ The [poorly paraphrased] phrase, “Shoot for the moon, and if you fail, you can be among the stars,” is true for at least one billionaire after Elon Musk’s SpaceX completed the first commercial spacewalk. The spacewalk itself was more of a “peek out of a sunroof like a dog in the back seat of a car,” but still, the feat means the aliens in space can expect to see more earthlings to visit without calling first henceforth.
