I'm incredibly excited about this. I would actually like to hear more about what happens on Mars: the steps to generate oxygen, food, energy, water, and the fuel for the return tri…

Google didn't intentionally change the world in Angular 2 to make sure that developers were learning new Angular 2 stuff vs. something else. If they wanted to do that, they were to…
