With everything that has happened over the past few weeks, it is understandable that many did not witness the historic SpaceX flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many were protesting, many more were watching the protests and even more were discussing issues that have plagued this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a brief 30 minutes, a team changed the world. The launch provided a very brief escape into awe and a refuge of wonder in a time of great change and strife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick history: Elon Musk<\/u><\/a> started SpaceX in 2002 and over that 10 year period, SpaceX<\/u><\/a> grew from a laughable idea to changing the world.<\/u><\/a> SpaceX dared to dream that a private company could win<\/em> vs government in the space race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is akin to Henry Ford betting against horses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Then again, it’s only crazy<\/em> when it doesn’t conform to our understanding of reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(remember, the world was #flat<\/a> for thousands of years)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How was SpaceX<\/u><\/a> able to accomplish this feat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will explore a few unique ideas presented by the leadership team and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

how they can apply to your business<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relentless focus on the future <\/strong>\u2013 the SpaceX<\/u><\/a> team took a significant<\/p>\n\n\n\n

problem and asked the question differently…instead wondering ‘why not’, it was ‘why not us?’. Why couldn’t a company comprised of smart, talented and driven minds build the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embracing hype<\/strong> – Elon<\/u><\/a> is a master hype creator and marketer. From his flamethrowers to having a Tesla launched into space, Elon has consistently pushed the envelope in what they were \u2018trying to do\u2019 well before it was done. The ‘hype’ drove funding, excitement and most importantly, awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embracing failure as part of the <\/strong>process<\/u><\/strong><\/a> \u2013 the SF clich\u00e9 of \u2018fail fast and cheap\u2019 doesn\u2019t apply to rockets as they are incredibly expensive and building them takes significant time. Elon<\/u><\/a> took a principle that works for PayPal<\/u><\/a> and flipped it on it\u2019s head with \u2018fail as few times as possible\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope for a better world<\/strong> \u2013 what Elon<\/u><\/a> and SpaceX<\/u><\/a> proved was that for<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the first time in history, a private company took astronauts to space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount of doubt, pushback and brick-walls they powered through<\/p>\n\n\n\n

is inspiring and is a reminder to all that with steadfast belief, anything<\/p>\n\n\n\n

is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope for a better is especially relevant today with the world in dire need of systemic change.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps by keeping our minds among the stars, we can begin to heal as a world and take on the hardest challenges with these key tenants demonstrated by the amazing team at SpaceX.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Stay safe out there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
