字里行间,看到了对于能人求贤若渴的Elon,也有严厉批评未达标准,果断解雇不中意的应试者的Elon;有沙漠戈壁、有夜以继日的熬夜忙碌、有所有该有的付出艰辛,却没有众所期待的Falcon 1成功发射;有辛酸不易,但是却没看见Elon的丝毫退却和动摇。反而愈加坚定。读到了整个Falcon1发射的第一阶段,也更加了解强人Elon和他战斗机般的团队!
SpaceX is in this for the long haul and, come hell or high water, we are going to make this work.
㈠:求贤若渴的Elon:
Musk was relentless in courting brainy engineers to come to SpaceX
㈡:严格要求的Elon:
Musk never relented in asking his employees to do more and be better, whether it was at the office or during extracurricular activities.
He earned a reputation as a fearsome negotiator who did indeed follow up on things personally
Most of the SpaceX employees were thrilled to be part of the company's adventure and tried not to let Musk's grueling demands and harsh behavior get to them.
㈢:鼓舞士气的Elon:
Musk could be equally brisk with employees who were not hitting his standards.
㈣:永不言弃的Elon:
第一次发射失败:Elon 说:SpaceX is in this for the long haul and, come hell or high water, we are going to make this work.”
第二次失败:Elon说:if we fail, we're done for.
The failures seemed to do little to curtail Musk's vision for the future or raise doubts about his capabilities.

After all the debris was analyzed, it turned out that the b-nut had almost certainly cracked due to corrosion from the months in Kwaj's salty atmosphere.
第一次失败的原因,因为Kwaj气候原因逐渐腐蚀螺帽,诺大工程,数年月的准备,就因为小小的螺帽失败了,而且主要因为盐化气候的影响。难以想象,一项成功的工程、一项优秀的科研成果,需要的不仅仅是那份执着的努力,还需要认真严谨的态度。学术之路,态度细节决定成败,应该以更加严格要求自己,思维等应更加严谨,刻意练习。
