The tough, visionary entrepreneur and his team of engineers test a new spacecraft out in the desert. In the pre-dawn hours, a truck hauls the craft from the hangar to the launch pad. The chuckwagon serves biscuits cooked over an open fire. A makeshift playground is set up for the kids. At dawn, the rocket is launched to the thunderous applause of the onlookers. The entrepreneur opens an oversized bottle of champagne.
It really happened, about six weeks ago.
