Is there some kind of voting ring for all of the blog posts in this style? How is this lame-o piece at #2 on the front page? It seems that the posts with this theme have been on the front page a whole lot lately. /tinfoil hat

I honestly have no idea. I don't do anything to promote Svbtle articles on HN. I don't think this post is worthy of Hacker News, so I haven't voted for it.

Bah. Hacker News is not some sacred vault. It is a news aggregator for gods sake. And I am glad to have seen this short, sweet blog post. So I voted for it, in the hopes that others see it and enjoy it too :)

(Eek, sorry to call your post lame-o. No offense intended! It's just.. well, you know what I mean. It's a quote from another page and link. But, yes, I see your point. Again, no diss intended! Sorry!)

Dude, you gotta show some backbone - you started to apologize as soon as Dustin replied on your comment. If you think the post is lame, say it out loud, nothing embarrassing if you have your own opinion, and as far as I see, you didn't insult anyone.

Please, you don't have to apologize:

The quote is great and relevant right now, with the last acomplishment of Elon Musk and his crew that is extraordinarily remarkable.

And I think that the determination line of thought is very appreciated here in HN and consistent with your own work.

Does anyone else somehow get the idea that Elon Musk never gets tired?

He doesn't have time to be tired. He's making electric cars and spaceships.

Don't forget that he's also trying to power things with the sun!

A future built by Musk, quite frankly, sounds awesome.

This is a clip from a 60 Minutes interview. The amount of passion and determination in this clip, is absolutely breathtaking. http://youtu.be/H3u0IIQj6FY?t=11m13s

Elon Musk doesn't get tired. Fatigue gets elonmusked.

I really hope he gets an apology from Neil Armstrong and other critics if (when) SpaceX actually delivers on its promises. It must be very tough to even have your heroes root against you, and like you say it shows a lot about what you stand for.

The sad reality is that Neil Armstrong will probably die before SpaceX does anything seriously significant, if it does. He's 81 now.

SpaceX Dragon becoming the only US means of successfully delivering cargo to the ISS and moving the US away from dependence on Russia was not seriously significant?
