I find it sad that, after watching so many rocket launches from SpaceX, NASA, eSA, Blue Origin, and Rocket Lab, I have grown bored of the repeated "Max Q" announcements. Somehow the excitement is wearing off. I can see a day when space travel is so common, that people will treat it as mundanely as driving a car.
