@spillnoow: Elon Musk says he put around $55 million of his own money into SpaceX. In a rocket company, that money can disappear long before there’s a successful launch: engineers, engines, testing and every new attempt all cost money upfront. SpaceX’s first three Falcon 1 launches failed to reach orbit. The fourth succeeded in 2008, making it the first privately developed liquid-fueled rocket to reach Earth orbit. That’s the stretch Musk was funding, with no guarantee the next launch would work. When Musk estimated what he’d invested, he admitted it was “some more than I expected.” The figure is striking, but so is what it paid for: enough attempts to get from repeated failures to a rocket that finally reached orbit. #ElonMusk #SpaceX #Entrepreneurship #Business #startups 🏆 $50,000 USDC xStocks Trading Competition is LIVE!
