The Rise of SpaceX
Elon Musk is known for his eccentric personality and ingenious innovations in the field of technology. After realizing a seemingly impossible dream of commercial spaceflight, he set out to try what turned out to be impossible: buying a spacecraft from the Russians. It turned out that it would be much cheaper to build his own rocket, and in the years that followed he turned his vision into reality, with stakeholders and observers waiting with bated breath for the results.
After a series of failed claim tests and years of research, it seemed impossible to realize his dream, but recently his test succeeded. Before Elon Musk decided to make his dream a reality, the first opportunity for people outside the international space program to enter and observe space seemed a lot closer than anyone imagined.
He attributes the success of his company SpaceX to his strategic partnerships and team. His company has earned its place among the aerospace elite and has indeed been responsible for some of the greatest achievements in space research and development. It also successfully launched to the International Space Station. His ties to high-profile organizations over the years have given his efforts greater legitimacy.
We learn more about Elon’s personality, motivations and inspirations. The feature looks at the challenges he faced in starting his business and the personal, professional and financial toll they took on him and his family.
This documentary is aimed at those who are fascinated by space and curious about the people who are really actively working to make the idea of colonizing other planets a reality. For those who can simply appreciate the grit it takes for someone to work hard for a dream and finally make it happen, this is a watch to recommend.
