T minus 20 seconds. Stage two tanks pressing for flight. Flight computer has control of the vehicle.

[inaudible]. Check it out. Speed bumped by two kilometers per second [inaudible]. Shortly after main engine cutoff, we're going to separate the stages and begin the second stage ignition.

That is that first stage coming back down. History in the making, guys. It's standing up. It sounded like an explosion.

It's kind of amazing that this window of opportunity is open for life to go beyond Earth. And we just don't know how long that window is going to be open.

But the thing that gets me most fired up is that creating a self-sustaining civilization on Mars, it would be the greatest adventure ever, ever in human history.

It would be so exciting to wake up in the morning and think that that's what's happening.
