On Saturday, the latest launch attempt by SpaceX, with a portion of my father&#8217;s remains aboard, failed to achieve orbit. While there are many complicated reasons why this is a disappointment, mine is simple: I&#8217;d like to finish saying goodbye.

Then there\u2019s the fringe science, the stuff that shoots up your nose like mathematical horseradish and dances a jig on your brain\u2026or brane, as it were (that\u2019s the nerdiest joke in the article, we promise).
