At first I though that they were about to blown this thing into pieces. Now, after seeing the video, I know that they are only going to crate a small crater at one side. Why not use 5 megatons instead of just 5 tons while you're at it? I mean, it's one of the very few space missions that something interesting actually happens. Why not make it more spectacular then?
That might be true, but first, many people had successful startups yet not that many of them write about how did they managed to be successful and second, Paul Graham is an excellent writer. His essays are just a very good read (and very convincing too). I, for one, believe in what he writes.
