My wake-up call that this is no longer my parents' rocket game was when, a couple of years ago, I tuned into one of the many Starship upper stage tests. At T-0 the engines ignited, then immediately shut down. I thought, well, they'll try again in about a week (a la NASA) and I turned the TV off.

...they launched like 30 minutes later and I missed it.
