In my opinion Commercial Crew isn't all that exciting. We've been using
capsules since the 1960's. Going from Soyuz to US capsules isn't a big

it was something very exciting that happened in December 2015 (the first
successful return of the first stage).

If it provides a much lower cost and reliable and sustainable access to low Earth
orbit, that is plenty exciting.
