If you were paying attention to the news recently, you’d realize that more recent space history was written. SpaceX Falcon 9 successfully completed a food and cargo mission to the International Space Station, and returned a first stage rocket on a drone platform in the Atlantic Ocean. This type of landing was never previously achieved. If you watched this landing, it was spectacular. But for me, what was even more remarkable was the excitement of the team that completed this mission – they went crazy!
Even with this backdrop, what’s quite noteworthy to me is the importance of what SpaceX is doing from an organizational standpoint. SpaceX’s founder, Elon Musk, is also the CEO of Tesla Motors and is passionate about space exploration. Musk seems to be inspiring early success with a team of people who have a shared vision and mission that they’re deeply proud about!
