The big news in the technology sector today is that SpaceX, the company owned by Elon Musk, launched a satellite and successfully retrieved the first stage vehicle, which they can now reuse.
More details about the story are here:

There was a hashtag trending today but when I started the download, I didn't get many tweets. Then I decided to download the non hashtagged tweets and there I received plenty.
The wordcloud is quite interesting because the most commonly occurring word is Mars. This is because SpaceX is planning to send a rocket to Mars in 2018 and it seems that this week there has been some talk about that announcement. Also, with today's successful landing of the first-stage rocket, people are likely speculating the success of a Mars mission in near future.
I found it interesting that people didn't have a lot of mentions for Elon Musk himself.

The sentiment about SpaceX was overwhelmingly positive. Out of close to 50K tweets, 36K (73%) were positive. You must have noticed that I made the change to the sentiment graph. This template will now stay. (Most likely!)
