But Lee has a mountain to climb to achieve the reset for his country that he has promised.

Seeing a rocket launch to space is not just something you watch but something you feel. Even from some distance away, the impact is immense, you can feel the reverberations in your chest and you cannot hear the person next to you. It's hard not to be impressed.
