I just finished Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future. It was an engaging read, and I learned quite a bit about Musk’s personal history and the ups and downs of his various companies (past and present). I particularly enjoyed the deeper look at the failures and accomplishments of SpaceX. I’ve always viewed private space ventures like SpaceX and Blue Origin as the expensive hobbies of billionaires, but the book gave me a greater appreciation of their short- and long-term significance. It’s definitely an area that I will follow more closely moving forward. 👍
