Congratulations to Elon Musk and SpaceX for another successful flight and landing of one of his Dragon rockets a few days ago. The primary mission was sending supplies to the International Space Station, but the secondary mission was the landing of the first stage of the rocket safely back on earth… and it was a success. This marked the eighth time they have accomplished this amazing feat, after many, many failures.
Musk is one of that rare breed who has built a huge fortune, and is willing to risk it all to accomplish the incredible. Both Tesla and SpaceX ran a race against time, with delay after delay, and failure after failure sucking up dwindling funds until it looked as though they would go under. And yet, Musk pushed forward, learning from each failure, never hesitating to take the big risk… and eventually succeeded.
So it gives me (and many others, I’m sure) great pleasure every time I hear of another success. And watching video of one of those rockets land back on earth… that gives me chills every time!
