SEJDA: ja chapu tvoji neznalost, ale Musk mel dost penez z prodeje Paypalu a proto si mohl dovolit tu firmu zalozit sam a nepotreboval na zacatku pet cofounderu ani investoru.
Once PayPal’s executives went to Vegas to celebrate the company’s success, Elon Musk was reading some obscure Soviet rocket manual that was all moldy and looked like it had been bought on Ebay (not the above image, it is just a random picture from Google for a dramatic effect). He often talked about space travel and changing the world. Elon Musk wanted to inspire the masses and reinvigorate their passion for science, conquest, and the promise of technology. His fears that mankind had lost much of its will to push the boundaries were reinforced one day when Musk went to NASA website, and found out no serious interest in investigating Mars at all. Elon Musk built up a decent network of contacts in the space industry, and brought the best of them together at conferences. Earlier discussions involved sending mice, or plants into space. Later Musk went to Russia to buy 3 ICBMs that could be retooled to go to space. But the Russians did not take him seriously (one of them spit at Elon Musk, thinking that he was disrespecting them). Russians were the only ones who could provide Musk with rockets at his budget. Later Musk thought that they could build the rocket themselves. He picked Los Angeles with intent because it gave him access to the space industry. Southern California’s mild, consistent weather had made it a favored city of aeronautics industry since the 1920s. According to his calculations, he could undercut existing launch companies by building a modest-sized rocket that would cater to a part of the market that specialized in carrying smaller satellites and research payloads to space. Musk had spent months studying the aerospace industry and the physics behind it.
