Congratulations to Elon Musk and his team at SpaceX for successfully launching, docking with the ISS (International Space Station) and recovering the first privately-funded rocket, the Falcon 9 with Dragon capsule. What a tremendous achievement in space exploration and engineering!
This success proves why entrepreneurs and business leaders, like Elon Musk, need less governmental regulations and the freedom to take risks with their own money, and make a profit. After all, profit is good and should not be feared.
Here’s a 60 Minutes interview (from March 18, 2012) with Elon showcasing his passion, inspiration and the risks he took to launch SpaceX and the Falcon rockets. A true example of the American dream becoming a reality!
