Many people will write many things about the SpaceX IPO, but here are my thoughts
1) Elon has been *the* chief inspiration for my generation to try to build great things again for humanity - I am actually a bit emotional seeing him win
2) It only had <10% chance of succeeding, but was worth trying anyway. Because if SpaceX didn't do it, there was no chance of anyone making humanity multi-planetary.
This simple statement is so core to the story that I think it explains almost everything else.
Why the best engineers will work literal 100 hour weeks for decades for this mission.
Why Elon kept going even after many crashes and near personal bankruptcy
Now there is an true, appreciable path for humanity to ascend the Kardashev scale and colonize our solar system.
A science fiction future without the fiction.
This is the absolute peak of technological difficulty and futuristic vision. And it's working.
3) This is obviously just the beginning of what will be accomplished by this amazing team.
But I'm going to remember this moment for the rest of my life. It is the new paragon for achievement and the American Dream 🇺🇸🚀
God bless
@elonmusk ,
@Gwynne_Shotwell, and all of the
@SpaceX team!
