"As God is my bloody witness, I'm hell-bent on making it work."

Elon Musk covering all the theological bases in his determination to
make his commercial space flight company a success. He even had a chief
engineer on the last two failed attempts - the ashes of James Doohan
(Scotty on the original Star Trek) were aboard the rockets (recovered
the first time, not the second). So it seems that Scotty was the first
person in history to not survive not one but two spacecraft crashes...
