Сделать пересказ february 6th 2018. elon musk launches the worlds most powerful active rocket, catapults his tesla sports car into space, and vertically lands two of the rocket boosters simultaneously. but for elon musk it was just a tuesday. its really crazy that we build these sophisticated rockets. and then crash them every time we fly. this is mad! when hes not launching rockets the entrepreneur can be found running a futurustic electric car company, selling flamethrowers, plotting a super-fast underground transport system for los angeles and even offering assistance in foreign emergencies. its perhaps no wonder elon musk was a source of inspiration for robert downey juniors billionaire business magnate-cum-super hero tony stark. born in south africa to a canadian mother and a south african father. musk was a voracious reader. and aged nine even turned to the encyclopaedia britannica when hed run out of books. an unusually, introverted child, he was bullied, once so severely that he was hospitalised for a week. but this didint hinder his pursuit of knowledge. by the age of 10 hed taught himself computer programming. by 12, hed made a videogame and sold it to a magazine for $500. you can still play blastar online! musks empire began in 1999 when he and his brother kimbal sold their software company which provided city business guides to newspapers. aged just 27, musk reinvested his $22m windfall. into x.com, a company which promised to revolutionise how we transfer money. a company you may now know as paypal. when ebay acquired paypal in 2002, musk took home $165m. without taking a moment to catch his breath, the young entrepreneur turned his gaze upwards and set up space exploration technologies, or spacex, with the mission statement of enabling people to live on other planets. you want to do projects that are inspiring and that make people excited about the future. lifes got to be about more than just solving problems. you want to get up in the morning and say, “yes , im looking forward to that thing happening! ” and in 2004 set up the electric car company tesla. all transport, with the exception of rockets, will go fully elecric. i see the value of tesla as a catalyst in that transition. musks most desperate moments came in 2008, when spacex suffered a third rocket crash and teslas rising costs threatened to ruin the firm. thats not to mention an episode of top gear which tesla said damaged sales. craksons show is much more about enterainment than it is about truth. his two pet peeves are american cars and electric cars. his two pet peeves are american cars and electric cars. and were an american electric car! spacex scraped through thanks to a new government contract. as for tesla, some last-minute financing and a $465m government loan helped it survive. but even today, questions about profitability loom over the company, which has lost billions of dollars. musk himself is no stranger to controversy. his baseless allegations against a thai cave rescuer sparked a libel case and his 2018 tweet about taking tesla private and very public, but legal, toke of marijuana on a youtube podcast displayed his simewhat cavalier attitude towards shareholders. but the future does look exciting as the eccentric engineer plans the first moon journey by humans since 1972 with billionaire passenger yusaku maezawa. and this is really just another stepping srone to musks ultimate goal, to reach and colonise mars and beyond. a plan which he says could happen as soon as 2024. either we are a multi-planet species and out there exploring the stars, or we are a single-planet species, waiting around for same eventual extinction event. its really that that i personally find more motivating -going and setting up a base on mars would just be the greatest adventure ever. , .
