The 12 minute mark is my favorite part. Sweet music to my ears and one reason my hearing these days sucks.

Bruce,
I'd like to have a friend with a similar rocket.
I'd like the speed, the noise, the overall sensation, the fact that I'd go to my island in 30 mins instead of 4 hours.
I wouldn't like to be around when it comes to refueling! Deeeeep pockets.

Though I have practically never entered a noisy ER without ear protection over the years as a marine engineer I still have measurable hearing loss as well as the occasional ringing in my ears...
