On May 6, 2002, SpaceX was established. Musk's investment of US$100 million can support three rocket launches. The company's official website reads: "We are looking for talented people from around the world to solve challenging projects and ultimately achieve the goal of humanity becoming a multi-planetary species."
On August 3, 2008, the third launch failed and funds were exhausted. At this moment, Ma Xinke and his team assembled the last rocket with the remaining parts and carried out the fourth launch.
All members of the SpaceX team are focused wholeheartedly on a common goal. They joined Musk's team and his seemingly crazy Mars immigration plan, and finally achieved the first important breakthrough——
On September 28, 2008, the Falcon 1 rocket was successfully launched.

Dreams are the source of motivation and the catalyst that inspires potential. Musk is a great businessman and an excellent leader, and his team is composed of a group of visionary people with dreams. With such a leader at the helm and such a team with one heart and one mind, such an enterprise is destined not only to succeed, but also to achieve greatness.
Behind the glamor we see lies unknown hardship and sweat. As the old saying goes: One minute on stage, ten years of work off stage. Musk's rocket team has experienced three launch failures, but they did not give up. Instead, they chose to fight against the odds and build a fourth rocket with all their strength. They must withdraw from the frustration of defeat in a short period of time and quickly devote themselves to new challenges. Everyone in this team is a hero who saves the company; everyone deserves to be respected; everyone is fighting for the cosmic dream in their hearts.
The slight negligence during the third launch, the sudden accident during the fourth transportation, every change was enough to make people fall into despair, every difficulty made people want to quit, but every time they gritted their teeth and stood up again. If you use one word to describe this group of people, it must be "passion", a group of ambitious and enthusiastic engineers.
Allow failure to exist, do not want failure to occur, but never fear failure. This is what separates Musk's rocket company from other rocket companies, and what separates Musk from everyone else.
We are all ordinary people, and we may not have the ability to change the world, but if we have the opportunity to participate in such a great cause, our hearts will definitely be excited. This process is destined to be full of obstacles, but the pride of being part of it will definitely be beyond words.
May you and I always have a pure heart and firmly believe that the stars are worthy of those who travel by. If you are tired, you might as well lie down and look up at the stars to absorb the strength to move forward; when you regain your energy, get up and continue your journey through wind and rain.
The writing style of this book is very vivid, like watching an entrepreneurial documentary, which made me deeply feel the hardships of SpaceX in its early days. The author's writing style is also very good, vividly showing Musk's entrepreneurial spirit. I myself have been single for many years and have been looking for love. Reading this book reminded me of my own life. Just like the SpaceX team, I will stick to my goals and believe that one day I will find the one for me😜.
