    They were prepared for it to RUD right there on the pad, losing one booster is pretty much one away from a flawless mission. I've been on previous live streams when an anomaly occu…

    Absolutely. After 3 months of using it I have only withdrawn cash from an ATM twice. It's slightly amusing to watch the cashier have a moment of confusion as I ask to 'pay by card'…
