A quoted post tallies SpaceX's 18-year record: a reusable rocket, 700+ orbital launches, more satellites launched than the rest of humanity combined, and per-rocket payload growing from under 1 ton (Falcon 1) to over 100 tons (Starship). JoeJustice says this mirrors his parenting philosophy: be the thing he wants his kids to become, as visibly as possible.
