The “race to space” is a slower one now a days, but one that is more expensive than ever before. Elon Musk, not coming from the best family background, was able to not only have the ideas to make his space empire bigger, but the financial backing. The most interesting thing I learned from this reading is how hard and long Elon Musk works to do what he does. One of the questions is what do you think the author thinks about hard work, and I think it can go without saying that Musk expects and requires handwork from anyone who is going to get near any of his projects.
I terms of this class sand business, it is encouraging to see that even the craziest ideas can work when thought out and the work is put in. Musk tried to start an independent space exploration company right after the United States began to give up on space and it’s NASA program. With good planning and a business model, Musk was able to make this insane idea successful. So, with a small scale app like mine, I should be able to make it work, right? Ahhh, we will see.
I think Elon Musk single handedly made the space race relevant again. It is crazy to think how much he has influenced and changed our society for the better. He really is an amazing person and someone to learn from. I would not compare yourself to him very much though. I think he is someone so special that comparing yourself to him will always end in sadness or a feeling or mediocrity. Overall, great person and great book.
