???? Elon Musk was integral in starting and funding SpaceX from scratch. He was intimately involved in the engineering and technical development. The first 3 Falcon rockets failed and blew up. SpaceX was almost bankrupt, as was Tesla. Musk rolled it all, giving $1M each to SpaceX and Tesla- almost his entire bankroll. The 4th rocket succeeded and Tesla took off as well.
BTW, the booster landings back on earth, integral to Elon’s strategy for space travel —- he has now successfully landed 400 boosters to reuse. Amazing physics.
Please. Without Musk this would never have happened.
Reference Walter Isaacson’s biography last year of Musk. So intriguing.
